Thursday Memory

Shop bells tinkling from eight 'til late queuing customers having to wait; Thursday,closing at noon opportunity to court and spoon. Collection boxes built into walls, gossiping ladies in their shawls; Bells pealing on the hour, drays pulled by one horse power. Factory hooters' blowing Morning cockrels' crowing; Cycle bells a-ringing, Provisions from vans' a-bringing.

I really enjoyed this Brian and realise I've done a few bios but didn't know how they'd fit into a poem. I feel inspired! I agree with Gary too - very immersive visuals! Shops always did the half day Wednesdays in my part of town and apart from the drays there were still some of these elements having their last hurrahs when I was little too

Wonderful. I read this and see a Lowry painting come to life Brian. :) Cheers - Gary
