Yes it would be interesting to see a musty woman, although I don't know how one would do that.
"grey-haired mop" is perhaps the most interesting thing I have come across in the poem, or rather possible combination. How you use it (or not) is up to you, it is your poem. For the most part, I think you are leaning too much on your adjectives which is probably why someone suggested switching to "crone" - not because it would be good, per se, bu because the poem leans ineffectively on its crop of adjectives.
