How did I miss World Poetry Day?
Here is an absolute gem from Brian Bilston to celebrate.
I love the colour of the anemone blanda.

Such a lovely surprise today – Our eldest daughter came to visit – work problems last weekend meant she couldn’t be here for Mother’s Day so she’s been here today, brought lunch and cooked dinner. What a treat to have her company for the day.

It’s easy to miss things from time to time,
Even if you’re not averse to rhyme.
I’ll bet there were days Lord Byron forgot,
And even John Keats may have lost the plot,
But Wordsworth, no, I seriously doubt,
He was a wordsmith with too much clout.

You are a star! That verse makes up entirely for my missing the day! Thank you 🙂
