IN YORKSHIRE

Michael Edwards

 

 

IN YORKSHIRE

 

 

 

The distant thrum of beating wings

as summer wakes

in guilty shades of flushing red

which seeps through glass and winters grime

and into rooms where people dine

In the land of the eating of cheese with the cake.

    I see memories in here. 🌹 Michael I'm coming back later with some of my terrible Limerick, you up for it?

    • Michael Edwards

      You bet - now its getting colder here in the UK and all the gardening is up to date I'll hopefully find more time for writing although the calendar is pretty busy up till Christmas.

      • Michael Edwards

        Any thoughts yet? I'm getting limmerick withdrawal symptons. lol

        • Teddy.15

            There was an old man called Rowe
            who went for a walk in the snow
            and despite what’s oft said
            his nose didn’t turn red
            but boy did it make his balls glow.

            • Teddy.15

              Yes lol I knew that was coming 😂 I'll be back,

              Write one about Gertrude in the nude shoveling snow?

              • Michael Edwards

                Gertrude the nudist was shovelling snow
                an unpleasant activity don’t you know
                for it should have been hot
                and hot it was not
                but it sure made her nipples grow.

                • Teddy.15

                  Lmao oh that's brilliant ❤️

                  Good write and pic M. Does Miss Berles want to have her cake AND eat it?!

                  • Michael Edwards

                    Miss Berles is an avid cake eater - she likes to bake a big Christmas cake and hide syllables inside it to surprise the family. Trouble is they now know what to expect.

                    • orchidee

                      Does she also hide many figs in figgy pudding? I can't have figgy pudding, as it....... too much info to say why! So 'don't bring it out here' to change the line of the song!

                      Excellent write

                    • Goldfinch60

                      My wife and I used to go up to the Yorkshire Dales every year back in the eighties and nineties to the same cottage in the village of Thoralby, it was wonderful.
