Poetry with Friends

Down at The Mission

Sitting round a big table

Reading poetry

Like-minded people

With a love of verse and worse

Waxing lyrical

One that I treasure

By W H Davies

Simply called “Leisure"

What is this life if ….

Full of care, we’ve no time to ….

Stand beneath the boughs

And stare as long as

Sheep or cows, no time to see

When woods we pass, where

Squirrels hide their nuts

In grass, in the broad daylight

Or streams full of stars

Just like skies at night

No time to turn at Beauty’s

Glance, and watch her feet,

And how they can dance ….

And that smile her eyes began ….

A poor life this if ….

We have no time to ….

Go to the Mission to read
