Tomnahurich Hill

The full moon shines
On Tomnahurich Hill
Even looking
Gives you the chill
 
The Fairy hill
Mound of the dead
When white silhouettes walk
The townsfolk dread
 
A ship lost at sea
Engulfed by the mass
The cries of their drown
Rise through the grass
 
They call out the names
Of their loved ones they miss
This night of the dead
As they float through the mist
 
This crew of souls
Lost in their roam
Thousands of miles
From their Argentine homes
 
What amazes the townsfolk
Of Inverness
This crew lost at sea
In roaming distress
 
Their ship was lost
Of the Falklands coast
Thousands of miles away
But we see their ghosts
 
So when the full moon shines
On Tomnahurich Hill
No blood is spilt
Only their ghostly return will

 
 
To continue the Ghost trail, having being tagged by Sara Kendrick,
in turn i tag Mr Vince Suzadail Jr to do a ghost poem and tag a soul.

The 1982 war for the Falklands-interesting write and very scary and sad,never knew that Argentine were lost at sea there whilst in a battle to conquer the Falklands,thanks to you i discovered a piece of history..and regarding Inverness,everyear i visit there...but quite scary to think that i can be seeing ghosts,prefer to see the faries and fiddlers or the birds flying over the awesome'River Ness'very spooky --well done Mr Highlander

Great poem, James! As you know I am off scalloping, but I had to stop by to read your latest post. This sounds a lot like the same type of haunting on the Flying Dutchman. So many images, perhaps mirages, are reported at sea that there must be something to these teles. I love the way your story unfolds. Another bit of sea history that is new to me! Love, Carolyn
