Beryl Edmonds Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Take Me There

Take Me There
Take me to the place where it’s broadly known 
In meadows and woods famous poets roamed
Where hosts of blithe yellow daffodils dance
In expectation of budding romance.

To view magnificent mountains and lakes
And spectacular countryside landscapes
In hopefulness that it all will inspire
My muse to explode alike a drumfire.

The Lake District I will visit one day
There’s so much to view and do on a stay
Such serenity and astounding grace
Is found in Cumbria’s stunning showplace.

Harry Horsman January 26, 2023 at 5:32 PM Wow, Belle, this is classic poetry, so much to admire, reading of this makes me also want to go there, a place i've visited so many time before as a young man. A place where even 'William Wordsworth' would have enjoyed reading this. Beryl Edmonds January 28, 2023 at 2:21 PM Thank you very much Harry. That you’ve been to the Lake District many times says what a wonderful place it is, I hope to go there soon. I am truly honoured by your last sentence. Belle

Sara Kendrick January 26, 2023 at 1:42 PM Reads like a good contender for the contest to me. Way to go. Wasn't there a famous poet from that area? Thanks for sharing and for stopping by my page. Sara Beryl Edmonds January 28, 2023 at 2:06 PM Thank you Sara. The three main poets of the Lake District were William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Robert Southey… Belle

Sally Eslinger January 8, 2023 at 7:56 PM Belle, i think Cumbria should pay you a couple K for this, take photos & pur our an exceptionally inviting brochure! You’ve written an enticing, interest raising poem. Quite lovely in itself with easy flow and lots of imagery. Much enjoyed! Hugs, sallyred Beryl Edmonds January 20, 2023 at 1:34 PM Hi Sally, thank you for your wonderful comments, it’s most unlikely I’d be paid a fee for this poem, but it’s a lovely thought… Hugs in return, Belle
