Beryl Edmonds Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

                   

Fiddler On the Hoof

In Solitude I Wander
The countryside I roam
Like a fox without a den
I don’t possess a home.

A minstrel on a fiddle 
Plucking strings, come rain or snow
With furry friends a-following
To hear this one man show.

Little birds cheep out in tune
Their tweeting symphony 
As all of nature comes alive 
In joyful harmony.

The trees bow down their branches 
As this chorus walks on by
They rustle leaves in honour
Raising spirits to the sky.

Gary Radice October 14, 2020 at 12:06 AM Congratulations on your win! I'm looking at your name and wondering if you are from Manchester England and pine for a once great (but now sadly defunct) Amusement Park (Belle Vue) that had one of the greatest roller coasters the UK ever had. :) Cheers - Gary Beryl Edmonds October 14, 2020 at 2:12 AM Thank you Gary, it’s sad when amusement parks close for whatever reason, I’m not from Manchester, further south in the Midlands, England. Pity about the closing of Belle Vue, to think of riding a roller coaster now is scary to me, but I loved them in my youth. Cheers to you too, Belle
