Boston
to Skegness Seabank
Marathon
Our poor feet
The day started
oh so bright,
We all lined
up, what a glorious sight,
As the air horn
blew the race began,
From Boston we
left along the Haven Bank.
The sun shone
high,
As we fell into
our stride,
At first it was
easy,
Although a
little breezy.
Checkpoints
came and checkpoints went,
Hob Hole,
Freiston, Leverton and then,
The half way
point at Wrangle Bend.
Our legs began
to feel some cramp,
As the sky
turned increasingly damp,
We walked and
thought with little talk,
Friskney,
Wainfleet our poor feet.
Gibraltor came
with so much rain,
Seacroft Square
we were almost there,
The final mile
brought a smile,
What a view as
the Clocktower loomed,
Just in time we
crossed the finish line.

Poetic People
Poetic words from poetic people,
Witty lines,
Rhyming rhymes,
Poetic lines,
All come from poetic minds.
Witty lines or funny lines,
There wrote for laughs, often about gaffs!!
Created for laughter with light hearted
banter,
Full of fun with many a pun,
That’s how there done.
Poetic words from poetic people,
Witty lines,
Rhyming rhymes,
Poetic lines,
All come from poetic minds.
Certain rhymes at different times,
Strike a chime,
None no better than a nursery rhyme,
Once remembered never forgot,
Wrote for tots, much loved by lots.
Poetic words from poetic people,
Witty lines,
Rhyming rhymes,
Poetic lines,
All come from poetic minds.
Poetic lines are not always rhyming lines,
Intellectual lines or story telling lines,
Sometimes there silly, full of willy nilly,
Often they don’t rhyme,
But never mind nor do mine!!
Poetic words from poetic people,
Witty lines,
Rhyming rhymes,
Poetic lines,
All come from poetic minds.

Snipe Dales
As the sun arose,
Majestically into the sky,
Mist like a crystal cliff,
Suddenly vanished from about us.
Trees began to appear,
Like guardian angels by our sides.
Green scenic surroundings,
Hung like velvet tapestries,
Adorning palace walls.
Streams and ponds glistened,
As if diamonds in some wealthy dynasty.
Birds began singing joyfully,
As if they were the choir,
On a royal occasion.
Animals scurried energetically around,
Just like the crowd,
Not wishing to miss out!!!
Our day at Snipe Dales,
What can I Say,
But wow!!!!!!!!!

P leasure and love

E xcept next time around,
Y esterday tomorrow no

My darling dear
The love inside,
Lets me know,
How I miss,
My darling dear.
Days are long,
Nights much longer,
Loneliness I feel,
Is mighty real.
Oh my dear,
My darling dear,
How I’ve missed,
Your presence here!!!
For Carol with love

The Fun of tomorrow
As I glare through my window,
The world appears so hard to follow,
I’m longing for an end to this sorrow,
I sometimes wish I could catch an Apollo,
But I fear I’ll remain in my hollow,
Searching for the fun of tomorrow!!!!

THE WORLD AT WAR
The world at war,
Was full of goor,
The fighting raged.
Armies were engaged,
As if they were caged,
With no thought of escape.
Death was all around,
So many perished,
Life was to be cherished.
No thought of surrender,
Just be a defender,
Until the tide turns.
The offensive will start,
Enemies u’ll dart, fall apart,
The final shots will depart.
Then flags will fly high,
As parties deafen the night sky,
The world at war,
Will be no more!!!
