Joyce Hemsley Poems

Shall we forfeit summer holidays this year
and both give our thoughts to domesticity
which, sadly to say, is well in arrear.
With a little love and ingenuity
...

Sweet country girl, I now unfurl
the love I hold for thee,
and how I find pure peace of mind
when you give your heart to me.
...

The 'One' I now see

reigns in the Heights
...

Sweet child so dear, please forget your fear
The young boy of your dreams is waiting here
Waiting for one warm caress in the night
And longing to sing a love song of delight.
...

The diamond:

Nature
lies before me
...

Before British people take the next
step along the political highway,
words of thanks and humble respect
should be paid to those 'kind few'
...

Once, our friend held high office
He guided both me and you.
But all the glory he gave up
To be with his Peggy Sue.
...

The diamond:

Oh today
she lost her way
...

The diamond:

Venus
lady with grace
...

Who was Sylvia?

Just a girl of fifteen
so pretty and innocent was she
...
