Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Keswick In the English Lakes

A picture postcard for all to see
sits down in the valley to view
a small market town among the lakes
real beauty spot always form a queue

Hill walkers come from near and far
make it their base before they trek
it's at base of lovely Derwent Water
where you can sail around it's neck

So many beautiful fells surround it
Blencathra, Catbells, Helvelyn and Skiddaw
these only a few of it's beauty spots
many an artist paint what they saw

Many years ago living nearby
poetic gems penned by Wordsworth
drew poetic word pictures so fine
encaptured many hearts across the earth

Such a place of quietness and peace
enjoy a coffee and cake reading a book
so many eating places to choose
or make a picnic by lakeside brook

There's also a theatre by the lake
go and see a musical or a play
lovely gardens with flowers nearby
sit among it's beauty to spend your day

Here indeed is God's picture book
showing His creation on display
what a picture what a photograph
full of colour no sight of any grey
