Here is a spoken poem about Scafell Pike by norman nicholson.
Still buzzing from Thursday's poetry infused fell adventure and meeting the man himself. I haven't written anything yet but yours is really wonderful Freckle! Its been a good couple days on here I see with some great choices and new faces and lovely haiku from DT. Am looking forward to posting something soon.x
Off to grab a sarnie but first....
The Brandy Glass
Only let it form within his hands once more -
The moment cradled like a brandy glass.
Sitting alone in the empty dining hall...
From the chandeliers the snow begins to fall
Piling around carafes and table legs
And chokes the passage of the revolving door.
The last diner, like a ventriloquist's doll
Left by his master, gazes before him, begs:
'Only let it form within my hands once more.'
Louis Macneice
I reckon we can all think of a magic moment or two that we would like to recreate ?
Nice write up Freckle, makes me wish even more I had been there! And I liked your peom too. Looking forward to reading Hes's and anyone else who writes one inspired by the day.
I'll try and get a couple of photos at Mytholmroyd, though it may be a while before they make an appearance due to my going on holiday.
It looks like a rough day on Cross Fell, and you lot sound like great company for Mr A.
Why is that most Pennine Way walkers I see are solo, and can't wait to engage me in conversation?
Pennine Way solo
Walking England's lonely hills
Looking for a friend
Always a pleasure to see you on this thread Stevie and your haiku is so very apt...there literally was no one around for miles unlike the Hadrian Walls bit of the route which Simon said was like the M6!!!......we are planning to do some kind of fell poet do again at some juncture and it would be great to see you there if pos, watch this space! :-)
this might give us some ideas....
