Wimbledon Fortnight Comments

Hi Ernestine What I liked about this poem, is that you haven't missed anything out. Virtually everything about Wimbledon fortnight is here. The real test of this, is that if I close my eyes and listen to the poem being read aloud, then I am right there in the thick of it. It's a whole poem/story/account of all things tennis. Lovely rhyme rythmn and meter too. Very much enjoyed. I'm sorry now that mine was such a skit of 'mens doubles' ha ha Much Enjoyed Steve

Ernestine, you've served an ace! ! Even John McEnroe would love this... well done! ! Brian

This is packed with energy, makes me want to get the racket out instead of just making one.Love Duncan

An excellent poem Ernestine with a lightness of touch that perfectly compliments the subject. The rhyming couplets are excellent and the meter very flowing.

Just like 'Supermarket Shopping', this poem uses rhythm and rhyme to describe that frenetic activity of Wimbledon. I lived in Kingston for a while and frequently had to drive past Wimbledon Tennis ground, and you can feel the eneergy from a hundred years away. the poem sums it up - can't wait for next year!
