Beneath These Northern Skies

'Write Thirteen Beautiful Lines' Poetry Contest: Sponsored by Constance La France (April/May 2025). 


Where hills are alive
with imagination
carried by clouds
toward their destination
Lakeland fells and sheep
Liverpool of cormorants 
Wales with its dragons
Yorkshire and terrier dogs
in Lancashire towns
of redbrick and cobbled folk
who worked with bare hands
to build a much better world
beneath these beautiful skies.

I can imagine the beauty of the U.K. in your poem. I'd like to visit it.
