Beryl Edmonds Poet Tail-rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Written  26th December 2025

Too Young to Last Forcast

They forecast that love would not last
yet sixty one years have now past
Since the magical spell was cast
reaching for our star.
I was ridiculed, my heart drowned 
when a certain one was around
‘Twas hard to cope, the star not found
and yet here we are.
