The Diary of a Countryside Lady 17.11.11

by Annamarie Causer 17 December

MY MOST FAVOURITE HAUNT  

Yesterday

as winter sun spilled

o'er the noon day

I took a leisurely jaunt

to my most favourite haunt.

Waxing lyrical

in my mind,

spilled

the verse

And what did I happen to find?

I noticed a brightened spot

of crimson blossom

at baby Craig Millar statue.

A new sprung

newly hung

holly bush got

planted

on which a robin whistled and sung.

This, which didst push

through knotted weed and thistle alike..

Even though the site

looks a fright,

almost obscured

immersed and innured

in building rubble,

whch accounts for double

the weeds and knotted grass,

since I was last

there.

It made my hair

literally stand on end.

A thank you from the foundling baby?

Well, maybe

he didst send

forth Christmas greetings. 

for the meetings

the people of Craigmillar didst bestow 

and the wreaths, flowers and toys left for him

before they go.

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.
