A Day Out in London Town
Goldfinch60 said:
Super write Alan, I was brought up in Rochester, Kent and in part of the Medway Towns there is an area called Luton where back in the day the Eastenders used to come down and stay there while picking hops, some of them ended up living there so there and a cockney accent was established. I have been living in the West Midlands for 21 years now and people can sometimes hear a cockney twang when I speak.

Ah but you have the West Yorkshire Moors around you and under your feet, Alan. All that history and environment. Please don\'t knock it. The only change from brick, asphalt and the small local park I experienced as a kid was a yearly fortnight\'s holiday to Sandown Isle of Wight.
At my previous post I forgot the \' good/excellent write\' accolade current here. Sorry about that - well deserved.
Take it easy, Dave

\"Spose I\'m obligated to add my three hapeth: Love the place (as it was in the \'40\'s and again in the \' 60\'s and\'70\'s. My roots. Changed a lot since - over development, Canary Wharf, big finance etc. What doesn\'t seem to have changed, when It\'s there is the drizzle and the cold. Reason enough to beat a retreat to good old Sydney Town...
Anyway , Mind \'ow yer \'go ( if it\'s still said like that and Estuarine hasn\'t clobbered that as well...

A light and engaging tribute to a real canine who is obviously happy to be given free reign over his favourite human - - dogs are a wonder of first rate energy in themselves and thanks for this kind

At a coffee house I go to several times a week there is a golden retriever in there that leads its owners into the coffee shop, sometime BEFORE his walk.

Yes, they don\'t mind. Off the leash, bounding around the park, or wherever, having fun.
\'Fetch, Fido\' I say to my \'watchdog\'! He checks out any naughty poems not marked 18+. One said I was nutty, but that one had no sense of humour.lol

Where do they get all that zest from? I reckon a dogs life cant be all that bad when they have a good best friend to look after them.
Amusing and pleasing to read.

Rose of Paper (A Sonnet)
ANGELA & BRIAN said:
Thanks ALAN for posting a perfect SONNET in STRUCTURE (Three quatrains with Rhyme pattern abab bcbc etc and a doublet ff) and SUBJECT ~ Paper Roses ! It reminded me of the Love song by Marie & Donny Osmond ! In esence it is ironic that PAPER ROSES outlive genuine ONES ! However we often preserve Rose Petals by pressing & drying them to preserve them ! I love the Sincerity and Love that throbs through this Poem ~ very very romantic !
Blessings & Peace & Joy & Love to YOU & YOURS
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙🧡

This fits about 98% to the 6.6.11. metre I have in mind, to set this to song. Wow! I have very little adjustment to do.

I feel I could set this to a hymn-poem - or call it a song-poem with a hymn tune - if you wish? I may use 6.6.11. metre, plus 12 lines per stanza (unusual!). Not not the easiest metre, but you\'ve done the poem, the framework to it, already! I aim to alter it as little as possible.

Erm, my ballad was gonna be on \'A walk through town and visit to the the Co-op!\' It won\'t sound very country-like though! lol.

Wonderful write Alan and unfortunately this could now apply to many industries throughout the country. The ghosts of those fonts will be there for many a year.
