A love in verse

St David’s Day

My daffodil, my leek, my love

My asphodel, she-dragon, you

Are green of all below, above

Including Eistedfoddau too


When, coming up inside the lift

Leaving the coalface for the day

I set my cares and woe adrift

And after showering I’m on my way


To see my Rose, my dear Welsh Rose

Queen of the valleys and my heart

I pray the pit will never close

And we will never never part

I brought a gift, my love, my soul:

A couple of hundred weight of coal!

The Last I Wrote While She Was Still Alive

The air is grey but the temperature’s warm

Late afternoon in an old Kent town

My mood is neutral, kind of brown...

Side by Side We Always Go

Sad to think that we’re apart

Kind of hurts one in the heart 

But we’ve got a decent evening...
