Caught myself looking over my shoulder even tho' I don't believe in ghosts, and I could hear the low of the foghorn. How still and eerie the night, and how vivid your memory of things like brass buttons and mutton chop whiskers. Fantastic mind pictures. Linda

Fantastic imagery in this poem Peter. I particularly enjoyed the alliterated words sprinkled throughout. Well done. I shall read more of your work. Regards, Sherry Pedersen
