Jacdaw, sorry Magpie No 29


The journey through long decades and grim doubts
has brought the love-torn poet to this door.
And at the bell a trembling finger waits
and wonders. Will obedience to her call
reap the reward of welcome to this house
of symmetry and light?

  1. Probably not! Which is a shame, because this is a nicely fashioned piece.

  3. When Mrs Trellis commented I twitched nervously of course and somehow the post became a 'draught' Also I forgot to stick a link in. To your home page - is that OK? I do so love blank verse Willow, it goes with my blank expression.

    Mrs Trellis is possibly WELSH, be really nice to her everybody.
