Joyce Hemsley Poems

Forty words:

Unknown quarries across the sea
...

On the plains, down leafy lanes
My wonderful man took my hand.
On the shore, across the moor,
Love of a beautiful lifetime began.
...

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.
...

The Sonata had gone
there was no floral song
on the sad day
you said 'goodbye'.
...

Friendship is a treasure
like the planets up above,
so if you find a faithful heart
nurture it with love.
...

It's a wonderful world today
gone has the grief and the sorrow
you and I have fallen in love
but will you be mine tomorrow?
...

Poetic Style - Acrostic.

B lue is the colour of God's sky
L ithe is the spirit that passes by
