Joyce Hemsley Poems

Her imaginary groom lives in country afar
His face ~ she has never yet seen.
But at early dawn every day of the year
She becomes a poor lovelorn queen.
...

In pleasant hours of summertime
When all the pretty flowers shine
A chaffinch ~ just six inches long
Sings a chirpy little song
...

Looking back to the month of May
In the year of our dear Lord 2001
Handel's Chorus drifted away
Silently echoing across the bay
...

Rapeseed mellow yellow
Sky of radiant blue
Emerald green the summer leaves
And heather of purple hue.
...

Your picture tells an enchanting story
Of our romance from long long ago.
The love in my heart has not faltered
Emotions still linger deep in my soul.
...

Forty Word Poem.

They are English, very British.
They hail from Angleterre.
...

However great and confident thou art
Whatever important position you hold
Clever ideas ~ yours from the start
Perfect and precious as gold...
...

The sweetest and wisest
'Her Royal Highness'
Our hearts unite as we thank our Queen
Our gracious Queen of the Royal scene
...

Ah, the fugue and pizzicato
Hearken to the flute and strings
Listen to Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite
In the Hall of The Mountain King.
...

In the dry and long hot summer
The sun beamed on and on
Till earth was bleached and colourless
And water ~ there was none.
