Premium Member A Step Back In Time

in silence
the shire plods his path
in footsteps of the past

Note: On holiday recently,we took a trip by canal barge pulled this way.Very evocative for me, as on my mother's side,her forbears were canal people,and thats how they happened to arrive here in my hometown.

Secrets

The secrets of a mother are gemuine and true
The sufferings of a father go beyond the grass on yohr feet but are always untold
I struggle with my father’s footsteps
Sometimes I walk a little straighter but the booze is juat so sweet,
To what is left off me is for my and omly forbears.

Premium Member Then & Now

I walked the field where others trod
history buried,'neath this sod

Forbears of nature,above and below
now in scenes of beauty glow

Alive with flowers,insects,birds on wing
below,death's voices,no more sing

Yet once,the opposite were true
when this same moment,for them,was new

Premium Member Cornwall Is My Homeland

Cornwall is my homeland 
And will forever be, 
Its pulse and mine in unison 
With the pounding of the sea.  

Cornwall is my homeland, 
My roots run tin-mine deep, 
The connection to my forbears, 
A treasured link to keep.  

Cornwall is my homeland, 
Of my being it is a part, 
For it resides within my soul 
And it beats within my heart.

Cornwall is my homeland, 
Its sea, rivers, land and sky, 
And when my days are over, 
It’s where I shall forever lie.

Giant Animals - For Contest

the leviathan strides alone
greater than any other, 
he struts about the earth 
with the decadence of a predator
whose enemies are long gone

None other has risen so far, so quickly, 
beyond the crusted imagination
of his forbears, 
eons ago.

But beware, mighty one
For the day is at hand
when all of your works
and all of your  progress

will be brought to nought
as your underlings become
your eternal tormentors.
In the battle ‘twixt man and machine 
Machine wins.
