ODE TO A PIECE OF HISTORY

What's happened to my all-time

Fave

Place.

Oft it didst stave

Boredom.

 

Where oft as the clock chimes

Didst come,

I could imagine floating off into space.

Cos I used to excited & rave,

At all the varying forms of art,

 

The ethereal,

The soul did heal,

The not so real,

The fantasy tales

Regaled

In a pic

Or three.

Not to mention the mural.

 

What dour,

Obnoxious boor

Has committed to this?

Where once 'twas bliss.

Stick

His neb in.

 

A Housing Association 

One Blames

And names

It progress,

In this, the 21C.

 

Should be ashamed.

More like regress.

More is less!

 

That, Art Space

Was the place

To be.

You see.

Where it was at.

No folderol, no tat.

Just talent.

 

Which was meant

For public show.

Now its a no

Go

Area.

 

And a race

Agin time

To see if t'other survives.

What drives

Progress?

 

Monied men

But of course.

And then 

Some.

A load of faceless bums!

 

Now ain't it just queer,

We come to bide here

And everything closes.

Memories, Nostalgia & History

History doesn't have to be in black & white

Your memory of a local character or a school photo from the last ten years can be just as interesting as wars and Victorians.
