Britain's National Poetry Day

It's Britain's National Poetry Day Hip! Hip! Hooray! Stay? Which nation is this to serve any dish we are at least four if not one or two more, but in these wetlands of these isles I see a draught of what to write, to rhyme, to scan and everything else a poem must stand. What one can say is that this muse is not asleep or dead as we are all poets even if we slumber to feel, to think, to say something interesting apart from writing about this beautiful Indian summer's day after tombstone skies or can't be bothered to get of out bed drizzle far too lukewarm to be real rain that used to reign in England and now is being over thrown by a royal republic of dry summer days that cheer us all up until we unnecessarily bin British Summer Time for Greenwich Mean Time so mean for most Britons just to please some north Britons, many but not all decry to be so darker dangerous evenings so it be, but against our will - hey! the Michaelmas Daises our in beautiful, delicate bloom as leaves dance to carpet pavements, parks, fields and gardens galore to thank God or Nature for the Fall.

Thanks 'Silent One'. It is going to be a beautiful evening. Now all flora is still, the sky airforce blue and the clouds do not scud at all.
