Today's poet

[Harry H Howgill]

Baby two gathers strength
there's a fell
with his name on it

I missed this one last night, top stuff.

Mrs H thinks he's already wearing fell shoes by the feel of it.

There once was a young southern softie
Whose favourite kebab was a kofte
He had dodgy knees
And legs of jelly
So his placings were never that lofty.


Failing that, I know one about an old fella, I think he came from Nantucket...

welcome to the thread southern softie loved this haiku...bloody brilliant!....it could have been written for me apart from the kebab bit!!!!...have a nice day

[freckle]

good morning one and all......something from tha bard himself to start the day....

A fairy song

Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire!
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon's sphere;
And I serve the Fairy Queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green;
The cowslips tall her pensioners be;
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours;
In those freckles live their savours;
I must go seek some dewdrops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.

William Shakespeare

Wendy Cope's "Fireworks poem II" is a bit right for today:

Write it in fire across the night
some men are more or less all right.

[Derby Tup]

winter nears
apricot and charcoal sky
cormorant overhead

Is this from A Mid Summers Night Dream?

In the words of the Kings of Leon

I want to run baby run
like a stream down a mountainside
with the wind at my back
I won't even bat an eye

Like it. Nice one.

gorgeous!

Last night I found myself on a Today's Music thread and it made me think how poetic some lyrics are:

Choirs of winter birds are calling to me
and all the leaves I came to love are falling

from Evergreen by Faithless

Hi DT, I couldn't make this work...was it a video for Evergreen? I'm a bit inept with YouTube but I'd like to see whatever it was.

Cheers, H.
