STRAND POETIC REVIEW Sept 25

FLORA THOMPSON Garden Fires an evocative 18 partial rhymed verse in two stanzas

Flora Thompson nee Timms
a novelist/poet for her sins
To up a pen to record Lark Rise
with observations fact..no lies
 So
beloved-
by people
she would never
see


Flora found fame with  a simple tale
Of rural poor,in town & vale;
Recording family life,page by page
Whilst a clerk for Royal mail-
Now modern classics of their age

Tribute to Flora Thompson 1876-1946 English author of Lark Rise to Candleford,
Still glides the Stream and Heatherley
