Stopped dead in her tracks
She runs to warn the others
That she had seen her
She was with all the laundry
The Washer at the Ford's there

I got this inspiration from the Brian Fround art book (good stuff, good stuff) and there was a sketch about Death. It's my favorite sketch, and I really liked the description.
I started writing a story about Death, Banshee, and the Washer at the Ford, but knowing me, I decided to just stick with poems...
