NaPoWriMo – 14/30

San San Poem:

She stood upon Chelsea’s streets
thinking of yesterdays ghosts
as they age like fine wine.
Stories are where her ghosts meet
to share wine and a Sunday roast
drawn on an ageing page.
Chelsea is her family’s spine
Chelsea is her stage.

#NaPoWriMo Day TwentyFour – “To England…”

24/04/201423/04/20145 Comments

Todays entry was inspired by yesterday (23rd April) being St. Georges Day in my beautiful home country of England. As much as I love my new digs in Australia (been here 10 years now) England will always have a special place in my heart…

B By and by, I’ll be home in those woodlands

R remembering myself in yesterday’s

E earldoms, skipping along the ruins – gran

A alway there, with her sea candy in May.

T too many tales and stories to relive

H happy, we were kites floating in the sky.

E every memory and moment was a gift

E Etched in my soul; eternal in my eyes.

N now I’ve departed my darling island

G grateful I am to be a part of her

L long may she breath through my feet and my hands

A albion, my soul you have conquered.

N next time I see you it shan’t be for long

D don’t be disheartened for I live your song.
