Buckden

“Daisy Hill” a garden to please distant, yet ever near in splendid hue. Yet here now the chill of winter’s wrath, which initiates spirited breath. Tenderness upon the bypass where, memory does walk through days gone by. “Manor Garth” place of sorcery speculator, astute evil and wry. Industry without face without grace, a mechanical tragedy here. A shop floor for humanity searching, if only to plead sanity. Amber leaves rattle the naked highway, like windswept flocks from mountains high. Dry stone walls history riddled shout, along country roads and velvet sky. “Cuckoo Nest” guardian of the moorside, stone walls devoid living blood wilt. Millstones prise out a condolence yet, parched with canopy in “Nab wood” Built. Rock’n’Roll ricochets upon “Chelker” A mind in tune harmony wise. Bicycle breaks the silence of night, before rolling clouds will the sunrise. © Harry J Horsman 2022

Wonderfully written with visual imagery so poetically worded of special landmarks that left a special memory and impression not only in your mind but your soul. Love Harry your chosen words to bring in this unique effect on the reader.

Great descriptions of landmarks crossed on your way ! A walk down the street will evoke memories of the past and present as we gaze upon places and buildings !"Amber leaves rattle the naked highway, like windswept flocks from mountains high" . Love the analogy here...
