"Ireland"
after emigrating to live in Washington DC. Nula lived in
the USA for a good many years before returning to her homeland
and now lives with her husband, Tom, in Wicklow in Southern
Ireland. She was inspired to let us see her poem after
reading one of the poems I chose last month
from Margery Cambridge who wrote of her love of Norfolk.I will be taking part in the entertainment marathon on Saturday,
17 March. Full details are on the
Bulletin Board. I
should be reading at 3pm, if you are there please come along and
say hello.
Please keep on sending us your self-penned poems, it would be
nice to have some about Easter. When sending poems, please make
them 40 lines maximum and please include a few details about
yourself with a contact phone number or email address. No
personal details will appear on Poet’s Corner if you prefer.
Bye for now,
Doreen

My Very Special Mum
By Doreen Reed
When celebrities win Oscars
It’s nice to hear them say
A big thank you to all the folk
Who have helped along the way.
‘Tho I’ve not won an Oscar
And I’m never likely to
For the guidance I have had in life
I’d like to say thank you
To my nursemaid, cook and chauffeur
Psychologist and housekeeper
My seamstress and my counsellor
My close friend and my teacher
I’ve had benefits of professions
And very many skills
I’ve been guided through my life with love
In health and through my ills
‘Tho the skills have many titles
I’m thanking only one
She was all these and so much more
My very special Mum.

Daisies in a Jar
By Jenny Eleftheriades
Just some daisies in a blue egg cup
Given by my little girl
Perhaps nothing very much
Yet they bring such a tender memory of
My Gran putting daisies in a jar
And the little girl is me.
