Harold Jenkins' Ghost

Comment from RodG
I enjoyed this ghost story and meeting a Harold Jenkins. You set the scene well and supply all the back story we need. The narrator had more guts than I would, living with a ghost, but it paid off for him and his wife. I especially commend your use of the traditional ballad (4/3/4/3) stanza, but do we need that last line?

Thank you for the great review, Rod. Yeah the whole piece was actually built to get to the last line just I could make a silly joke about him being naked every time they saw him. I appreciate the generous stars friend. Have yourself a great weekend.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written ghost story poem. It seems the ghost approve if the presence of the young couple and even have his well-hidden treasure to them. The couple give him permission to stay as long as he clothe himself.

The lost of other, treasure for finders
:) this seems to be the motif of this poem:"
I hurried back and grabbed the tools,
a shovel, pick and flare.
Then dug a hole where Harold stood
and found his money there." Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.
