Christmas Day 2023 Limerick

Christmas Day Limerick 2023 

Christmas Day’s done so that's that
Watching TV and growing fat
With Midwives and Menders
and a shock in Eastenders
but my favourite was Tabby McTat

Welcome

   Welcome to the South Chingford Poetry Blog! If this is you first visit, then you may wish to  view the preamble  first, to see how and why the blog was developed. If you have visited before, you may prefer to  proceed directly to the list of poems  available for reading. Some people prefer to listen to poems being read out to them, rather than reading them, so recordings have been added in some cases (the links are at the beginning). Navigation through the blog is entirely via hyperlinks, which in general appear as blue text. Just click on these to follow where they lead (on a computer, the cursor shape changes to a hand when you hover over a link). At the end of each poem, there is a "RETURN TO LIST OF POEMS" hyperlink, which facilitates moving from reading or listening to one poem, to another. Thank you to all the contributors for allowing me to post their work. Enjoy!                     ...

Rock of the Ages

Image
Another great poem from my former neighbour Beverley Rock of the Ages Each stone, a living memory As I walk and wonder -  Time and its space creates a story - Gazing openly asunder   Every stone a piece of history Embedded and in its place I read, feeling, each ones glory Its strength, its grace What does it tell me? How can it tell you? That once it walked free, And once it flew. Wind and sea waves buffet Into skipping, dancing Alongside smaller pebble set With tumbling and prancing The core element sublime Waiting for its merger In a futuristic time Altering form to purpose Rock into grains of sand It surpasses all Attempting to understand  Rock of the Ages Trodden ground Sung by the Sages Whose feet have touched It never gives up!  Beverley Gill  March 2022 RETURN TO LIST OF POEMS
