Joyce Hemsley Poems

Forty words:

Some beautifully-worded poetry
...

As we listened to music of classical style
Notes to enchant ~ words to beguile
The curtains came down on our evening of grace
And we said goodbye to soprano and base.
...

Stress and trauma over the hill
Fires still burning ~ intended to kill.
Oh the scene is terrible
Odds for survival negligible
...

On with the enterprise ~ ever to be!
May the shipments keep flowing endlessly.
The one word 'stagnate' is never for me...
A 'get up and go' little bumble bee.
...

Twentieth Century Chancellor Press
knew of William Shakespeare well.
Thanks they deserved, all rights reserved,
printing plays and illustrations, sonnets
...

Humour Intended:

'A Beautiful Day'
...

I was so happy to hear your song
as we travelled the road together.
Over the hills and down in the dales
each journey as sweet as ever.
...

May the eighth two thousand and ten
will soon be here, bringing sweet memories
ever dear, for on the eighth day of May
nineteen forty-five, people in Britain were
...

I sigh and I fret
and I'll never forget
the last moment
I spent at your side.
...

Beneath the superior gaze of rivals
She models chiffon and lace
Voices call out 'scatterbrain'
And her abstract ideas evaporate.
...
