Off Topic Poetry

In Spain my mind just wasn't on it
My book had no verses upon it
But on my return
I'm happy to learn
We still love the haiku and sonnet

 

I think Edgar Allan Poe had that more than covered with this...

HEAR the sledges with the bells --
Silver bells !
What a world of merriment their melody foretells !
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night !
While the stars that oversprinkle
All the heavens, seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight ;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells --
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

 

I found this - Winchester - is that not Theo territory - is this Hornet Press Poetry his family in disguise?

Hornet Press Poetry Collective shared The Poetry Society's post.
Congratulations to two of our Hornets, Sue Chamberlain and Eve Ellis for being long listed for the Winchester Poetry Prize. Feeling very proud of these talented women. Lots of us will be there enjoying the festival - will we see you there?

Love The Hornets x

 

Auntie Mary had a canary
Up the leg of her drawers
When she farted it departed
To a round of applause

 

Because it's Friday
and the week's at an end,
your Happy Hour you can,
through the weekend extend.

 

I remember a bar in Benelmadina that proudly displayed a notice which read, "Happy hour 7 till 9 every night!"

 

A pub on the fair isle of Wight
Was hidden away out of sight
The lane was so curved
It could not be observed
So the happy hour lasted all night
