Best Fen Poems

Lashings of wild wind wipe the smile off the smug fenland fields in Spring, 

all geometrical order of all colours of the rainbow, with every colour of yellow;

Esthetic arts and ample wisdom
Upon a sullied fen and a gemmed kingdom

Sullied fen, how filthy you are!
Beauty has fled and is now afar

We seek wisdom, it is to be found
Not among what your grime surrounds

Brain bends

A solitary heron flaps
The pterodactyl lazy loads 
A flyover of long strokes 
Of reed brushes
Eels writhe 
A dog trotting
