A Fairly Scary Ghostly Host
a creak, an eek and eery melt
in darkness subtle shimmer felt
berroling, droom in shadow dealt
tip-tipping softly shooming out
a ghost that leaked and trickled through
the walls with leeg and gentle woo
a seep and freep from room to room
maroding gooey down stairways too
the air was still but full of groan

Lady Mary Berkeley
Once, long time ago a Lady of grace and elegance,
her child and spouse in glamorous remembrance.
Chillingham Castle in its prime of residence and tragic,
