JOSEPH and the RED WEAVER | Folk Tongue

Just another WordPress.com site. About and List of Posted Poems. April 16, 2012. JOSEPH and the RED WEAVER. Like the legions long before him. Joseph was walking the Wall,. From Tyneside to the Solway Firth. His boots would tramp it all. From the metalled streets of Wallsend,. Out over the fells and fields,. Shouldering his pack he rambled. Such a land of stringent beauty,. Countryside of austere bliss,. Where the Wall seems insignificant. Perched atop a precipice. As Joe looked along to the West. As the ...

Just another WordPress.com site. About and List of Posted Poems. Monthly Archives: March 2012. A TWISTED TALE of the PENDLE WITCHES. March 29, 2012. As mist settled over Pendle,. And clocks chimed the midnight hour,. Came a rush of broomsticks heading. For desolate Malkin Tower. Alice Nutter leading her brood,. Chattox and the other crones,. While all the good folk round about. Felt a chill strike to their bones. Vipers’ venom, tongues torn from larks,. Dank water drawn from a mire,. Art works, part work...

Barnsley, my town | barnsleyvoice
https://barnsleyvoice.wordpress.com/2015/07/07/barnsley-my-town
The greatest WordPress.com site in all the land! Barnsley, my town. July 7, 2015. Barnsley, I was not born of you. I did not know your grey dust history. Nor your Town Hall, its white tower reaching for the sky. Did not see your countryside, enfolding you on every side. But I know you now: this place so fiercely proud,. For did not the great miners’ strike have its hub in this place? They lost their battle, but losers become heroes. Their valiant feats the stuff of legend. See the hills and changing skies.

Just another WordPress.com site. About and List of Posted Poems. May 10, 2012. Primitive Methodist Chapel ,. Was engraved over the door. Of the holiday conversion;. A place of worship no more. The village long since stopped praying,. The villagers moved away. As property prices blossomed,. As commuters came to stay. The old chapel was transformed with. Gold standard fittings throughout;. Wet room, king size beds, wood burner,. A plush holiday redoubt. First guests were a married couple. As preaching gave...

With pick and shovel the way was being won. By navvys, and ganger Jim Shackleton. Jamie-go-deeper, the ganger was known,. Jamie-go-deeper moving earth and stone,. His gang digging the route as it was planned. Till they fetched up against disputed land. A full field’s width was barring their way. Because seams of coal ran beneath the clay,. I’ve see...

Jack and the Barnsley Rose | barnsleyvoice
https://barnsleyvoice.wordpress.com/2015/07/01/jack-and-the-barnsley-rose
The greatest WordPress.com site in all the land! Jack and the Barnsley Rose. July 1, 2015. Bearing but a single bloom, a rose. Arose, punching through paving. Between the PALs memorial. And the town hall, waving. A provocative deep red flower. The MP took it as a sign,. But locals grumbled. Higher. And higher that rude rose rambled,. Way up through the clouds it wound;. The mayor jangled his chain and called,. I want a Jack to be found. And found one was, a bright enough chap,. A goose to lay golden eggs.
