Today's poet

[Derby Tup]

Wharfedale Saturday
oozing peat, tussock, cropped grass
seven hours great fun

[Hes]

Three Tops: Part 1

mud-spattered gasping
touch the trig, turn and descend
tired legs find new spring

[Hes]

This is the great fell poetic society
This is the great fell poetic society

Put on your socks and shorts, your race vest too
Get your laces tied we got a lot to do
Grab your pen and paper, have a try
‘Cause time's soon hurrying by

Grab your inov-8, grab your inov-8
Don’t mess around get up that fell today, eh?
Just like Sylvie Plath, or that Ogden Nash

This is the great fell poetic society
This is the great fell poetic society

Gotta get a bloomin rhymin
Babadab-babadabadab-bab-ba
Gotta get a bloomin rhymin
Babadab-babadabadab-bab-ba

Jump through styles, through that gate
Hurry up mate – don't wanna be late
Do another
Another haiku
Another haiku
Gotta get a bloomin rhymin

This is great...made me laugh and also think about the fact that I actually started counting syllables off on my fingers whilst racing today.

Fantastic evocation of a race

[Hes]

Quite possibly, I mean, if I can have a crack...

Harmless acronym
Or waster of weekends?
Do it yourself.

Ha ha...that's brilliant too. You lot have been very busy over the last couple days. I'm off to get a cup of tea and read through all the stuff I've missed.

Enjoyed both your contributions today DT. Was the 7 hours a run? That's hardcore...mine was just 90mins.

Enjoy the firworks.

Can't wait for parts 2, 3, 4 ........25

Now that IS good. It is has great rhyming, alliteration, pace, and great imagery.

"Touch the trig" is my favourite bit.
