Poem Artwork

~ Country Pub ~

 

Homely comforts

Rural way of life

Loyalties remain

Wishful tributes

Vanished brews

Pie and peas, soup

Cheese and ham


Signs of welcome

Well worn doorways

Buildings fulfilling -

A humbler purpose

Since medieval times

Blackened kettles

Ever-burning fires

Simple signs

Inscriptions records -

Time and a date

Skirts the roads

Made from stone

Pilgrims, drovers,

Packhorsemen, now

Tourists refreshed

Some haunted by

Travelers - never left

Local mementoes

Pitted oak tables

Heart of a village

Past generations -

Memories still remain.
