WALES ~ LAND OF MY FATHER ! An Acrostic Sonnet

BRIAN & ANGELA



 

SUMMIT OF SNOWDON ~ YR WYDDFA ~ 1085 METRES ! 

 

 

LLANDUDNO ~ LLANGEFNI ~ LAKE BALA

ALL play grounds of my childhood

NORTH WALES was very close to LIVERPOOL

DRIVING ~ cycling ~ bus or train accessible !

 

ONLY MOUNTAIN in the UK over 1000 metres

FOR us SNOWDON was a challenge ! We were  all

 

MOUNTAINEERS ~ It was our EVEREST ~ every

YEAR we climbed it by different routes in all weathers ! 

 

FOR the bucket & spade brigade there were

A PLETHORA of sandy beaches North ~ South & West

THE  GOWER PENINSULAR was a Paradise and

HEARING the lilt of the WELSH Language and the

ENCHANTING harmony of the WELSH Harp & Choirs

RELISHING  Welsh Cakes & Welsh Lamb ~ Food of the GODS !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

 

In LIVERPOOL we were at the CROSSROADS of Four Nations

ENGLAND but with a Scouse accent & attitude WELSH ~ Song

& Language ~ IRISH Humour ~ SCOTS Dancing ~ We all knew

that the UK was a Four Nation Melting Pot ~ United in One

Kingdom but very divided and competitive in Rugby Union !

If you plan to visit the UK be sure to spend time in Wales ~

Scotland & N Ireland as well a England.  Each Country is very

distinctive in Accent & Language ~ Culture ~ Dress ~ Climate

and Scenary ~ try to spend at least ONE WEEK in each Country

of the United Kingdom and the Great Capitals of London ~ Cardiff

Edinburgh & Belfast ~ ENJOY  Blessings to ALL ~ BRIAN XOXOX

          Very interesting to learn about your heritage--great write! Sister Christina

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            Thanks CHRIS ~ The history of the UK is very complex ! Some Americans just visit ENGLAND (The London Area) and fail to understand that it is UNITED KINGDOM of four distinct and very different Countries ! ENGLAND ~ N IRELAND ~ SCOTLAND ~ WALES ! The Irish Republic (Southern Ireland) is another separate Country ! Thanks for your comment. I have added a picture of a GUPPY to my FUSION ~ please check Yours BRIAN

            Good write Brian, Wales is a great place to visit, so I am told.
            I used to have a friend who was a tanker driver and he always said that the best thing about Wales was the M4 Bridge coming out!

            Hello Brian, it's a wonderful poem... I really enjoyed it. Such a lovely acrostic sonnet. I really got a taste of the beauty of Wales through your poem. I think that climbing a mountain as a child is one of the best childhood experiences. It's beautiful. ~ Jo
