Christopher Tye Poems

Opener

Opening lines of a book
Putting down the opening score,
...

Tables

Tables set for lunchtime at a diner,
A table to work at full of tools,
...

A Lincolnshire Lad - Great Tows

Great hamlet of ours,
Remote and all the more glorious for it,
...

War

Wanton destruction and wasted lives,
Annihilated masses for the crimes of the few,
...

Tractor

Tools of modern agriculture,
Revolution putting horses out to pasture,
...

An Ode To Chicken Soup

Remember the good old days when chicken soup was always on the menu,
Restaurants just seem to have one "veggie" soup nowadays alas,
...

Quick

Quick thinking with wise cracks,
Up-most haste and speed in all things,
...

Before

Before the storm there is calm,
Everyday which passes will be before,
...

Nowt

Nothing of value heard,
Other than this there's nowt here,
...

History

History has a long history,
Imagine bringing light into the dark ages,
...
