Little Sound (Stockport WoL Cheddar-Poem)

entry picture

A sonnet drowns in love.

Patterns in Nature cling to crystal zones:

This singular look on your face

In this time and place,

Touching on the distance but never nearer the truth

 

Moving wedding poem gives weight to sentiments -

A wind of change blows through the trees

 

Holiday antics

Away from prying eyes

Of neighbours, parents and friends;

The young are not so innocent

As their parents believe them to be

 

Beautiful, beastly, entitlement

 

My baby!

See her on the Marriage carousel...!

Cheddar-letter: A letter consisting of several paragraphs, each the contribution of a different person. The name is taken from cheddar-cheese manufacture, in which all the dairies contributed their share of fresh cream.
