Here's a poem I wrote a couple of years ago:-
MY BIDSTON HILL
Mist swirled around the windmill And danced along its sails In the stillness of the morning Where a gentle breeze exhales
Enveloped in a wooded smell So fresh and unpolluted Amid the security of the trees The essence of nature undiluted
I’ve watched the moon watch over you I’ve bathed in your silhouette Lived out my childhood fantasies And ones I haven’t lived out yet
The domes of your Observatory Stand so tall and proud Its body lost within your soul Its head above the clouds
If your trees could talk The wondrous tales they would share Of this amazing enchanted place Our own slice of Heaven here on Earth

I've been writing for years but have never had the guts to show anyone, might do one day though. Keep it up, if you have any more please share.

I'm sure you're a great poetry writer, Sally, but I know what you mean about not having the guts to show anyone. I too have been writing for donkey's years but it's only in recent years I've plucked up the courage to show people my efforts. This was one I wrote while attending creative writing classes a few years ago. I'll try and dig out some more.

I love that as well. Being a simple soul, I like poems that rhyme!

Nice poem I really liked it. I too like rhyming poetry (although I tend to write more in a rapping style than traditional poetry usually lol)

Thanks Tatey, Dilly, venice, RUDEBOX and EvilCycle. I too, enjoy the old rhyming style of poetry (mind you, at 59, I am knocking on a bit, LOL). I must admit, these days I'm more into writing short stories than poems, but it's always nice to get some positive feedback. Thanks again for taking the time to comment.
