For this month's theme, my monthly poetry group chose the theme "ghosts, spirituality and mysticism". I wrote this:
The Ghost of Victor Grayson
From the valleys of the Colne and Holme
From hearth and warmth of wool and work
The red flag flew for toil and soil
A bright young spark of fire and flame.
But soon the cloud of doom and drink
Was overwhelming young potential;
Bribery and Maundy’s blackmail
Cast unto the river and oblivion
Now the ghost of Victor Grayson
Looms in legend, long and dark;
Never seen and ne’er forgotten
Warp and weft, his spirit’s looming.
