Preface

When I was a student in Manchester, England, I wrote some poetry. Most of those poems have now been lost in the intervening years. Only one survives.

Then, many years later, the school where I worked had a staff Christmas dinner and some people agreed to act as entertainment after the meal. We had earlier had a rather disastrous visit to France with a group of fourteen-year-olds. A few things went wrong and so I wrote a humorous poem about the trip. It was met with approval and over the next ten years or so, I wrote other poems, mainly about the doings at the school.

Unfortunately, these have also been lost except for one about the National Lottery, which I've published here. Anyway, since most of those poems were about events no one else knew much about except the staff of the school, I would probably not have published them anyway.

I hope you enjoy my little book. If you do, please leave a comment on Amazon. Reviews are important for authors and readers.

Seasons And Festivals

Spring

I thought I’d write some poems about the seasons. Here is one about spring.

Dandelions, like gold, cover the meadows.

Newborn lambs frolic in fields.

New leaves on the trees are casting their shadows

And winter’s cold grip quickly yields.

At the edges of woodland the primroses glow

And cowslips their scent fills the air.

Anemones dance when the breezes do blow

And birds sing with never a care.

Then bluebells and campions come into bloom

Their colour the blue of the sea.

The cuckoo, that herald of spring, will come soon,

His call echoing over the lea.

The song of the blackbird is like molten gold.

His notes are so pure and so clear.

Hearing him seems to banish the cold

And brings joy to all those who hear.

Robin is nesting, and other birds too,

The hedgehog is active once more.

The young of the deer and the badger and shrew

Play their games as in old days of yore.

The sun climbs higher and higher each day

Giving more of his heat and his light.

It sparkles like stars fallen into the bay.

All smile at the beautiful sight.

Hope and excitement come with each spring morn.

What blessings will come with this day?

New starts can begin once again with each dawn

And send us all hopeful away.
