Joyce Hemsley Poems

A Golden Wedding had to be
A celebration to remember.
Dancing through the years with thee
Steps were sure ~ kisses tender.
...

This 'mother love'
for you, sweet one,
will never ever end,
You are the glory,
...

The only way to be happy in life
is to sort out problems with care,
erasing all worries from the mind
and avoiding a dismal nightmare.
...

To live in the south of England
in nineteen forty-one
was terrifying and horrifying
the bombing left one numb.
...

Edward Lear, poet and humorist
introduced the popular five-line
Limerick into England in the year
eighteen-twenty. I quote one
...

Forty words:

No more 'world wars'
How could there be?
...

Forty words:

Obsessed within a fantasy
Where wise men seldom go
...

Forty words:

Gentle Jesus I pray unto Thee
Prayers of sincerity...
...

As I step across the
ancient shores of England,
I feel such homely
rapture in the air...
...

Acrostic

Jaded and bored all the day through
Idle moments were making him blue.
...
