Biography
Although I love the spoken word I am primarily a musician and have performed and accompanied all my life. I have recently been attending some of the poetry venues and decided to have a go at turning my hand to another performance medium.

I too liked the rolling meter and rhyme (especially the internal ones).
Nice poem.

Hi Yolande
Glad you enjoyed 'Time Flues'. I'm embarrassed to tell you that this was Dewsbury in the 50's. We were always a bit behind the times here.
I really do appreciate your comment, and hope you enjoy the cross-over from music to poetry. I can't hold a note, so I can't cross back.

Hi Yo, thanks for your comment on Our Gramps..... I am watching this space with great anticipation!!!!

Enjoyed your trad metre and ryhme, Yolande.
Welcome to WOL - so glad you made that leap. If you get one fraction of the pleasure from poetry that you get from music, it will be very worthwhile.
