SING ME THAT SONG

Music ...the balm.

                        SING ME THAT SONG ...

of Wood Warblers, Pied Fly Catchers >>>

that echoes through derelect chambers

    of a castle neath Snodonia's peaks.

Watch these delecate creatures soar over

deep cold quarries where 'slates' are made.

Majestic coulmns stand: they tell tales of

sweat and toil by men whose bare hands,

now raw, put food on tables of wives who 

        wait - for that was their fate!

Waters pure and calm cascade through 

Elan Valley to homes of finest grace. >>>

     taste the difference ... in purity!

Sing me that song >>> that tells a tale.

Song Thrush feed... strip bare >>>

red berries on branches there.

Fill hungry bellies for journey 

           to far off lands.

Soft and delicate are the melodies of

gentle creatures that reach a lover's ear. . .

so ~ sing me that song >>> sing me!

Kitty, I've read several of your poems and they are all amazing. This one truly touched me. I love nature and your descriptions are so precise that I can close my eyes and feel as if I can see exactly what you are describing. That is a truly a talent and gift.

Wales is so like the country of my birth that when I go there or even think of holidays there I am 'Home'. Thanks for realizing this.

Thank you for this visit Little Butterfly. My connection with that beautiful country from which our water supply originated was the inspiration behind this piece. My children and I enjoyed many a lovely holiday there. Recently family snaps have encouraged this particular piece. Thank you for reviewing.

Very beautiful imagery in this one, Kitty. It is a poem, but just as easily could have been a folk song. Evokes memories of times long past. Very good work here.

I was happy with this one John as it is derived from the fact that in Birmingham our water came from the Elan Valley in Wales. None to compare: pure natural water that does not need to be boiled. You can drink it straight from the tap without fear. Have a great week end! Blessings.
