Festival

From North to South, East to West From Lands End to John O’Groats, You can always find a festival That will surely float your boat There are festivals of music For blues, folk, jazz and rock And festivals for foodies Where you can learn to cook in a wok If you’re not into music or cooking, And your interests are literary You can participate at a book festival With story telling and poetry You can visit a festival for the arts Or an Eisteddford, where people sing Or hear jokes, at a comedy festival If singing is not your thing Or be a viewer, at a film festival Watching copious ‘films noir’ Or take a walk round a festival of gardens Through a plethora of fragrant flowers History, culture, religion, the sea Are all covered by festivals too Genres for everyone, regardless of age Whatever you like to do Festivals for this, festivals for that For each month throughout the year, But the festivals I like to frequent the most Are the ones that involve drinking beer!

The UK has seen a massive growth in Festivals Janette. They accrue so much revenue to the towns and villages where they are based. Kool poem >> James

LOL! Good one, Janet. Thanks for sharing and for commenting...By the way, I am going to try to start commenting again. I have just been too weepy these past three months…commenting became difficult. I do enjoy reading your wonderful poetry, though. And I appreciate you. Thanks for understanding. God be with you and keep up the excellent writing. Lovingly, Dane Ann
