There is something about musical instruments, that, although inanimate they do have a voice! Always a sad day when one is destroyed, captured well here Joe.

Well done on POTW

This has all the rhyme and meter of a rap and as such I think it would work well live. Have you ever thought of performing it. I like the subject matter as well.

Lucky you! Such a wonderful experience and a great poem. That second line is fab!

Although I seriously contest the implied 'marriage' of 'pubs and poetry'. I don't drink much - never had the cash or the inclination, but mostly the money. And I don't feel poetically handicapped. If I got boozed up, I'd probably be sick, not inspired. But who knows what depths/heights/surrounds I've missed. ?

Thanks for your encouraging comments Colin.

I thought perhaps the second verse might BE the view from "over there" (ancient greece or something, as always!) and as such is entitled to read quite differently. Perhaps they hadn't invented puncuation back then.

Great title and opening line Adam. As a 'work in progress' poem the two verses seem a little disconnected. I prefer the first and would be interested to see those thoughts explored further. But there's lots to like in the second verse too. Either way I enjoyed reading. Thanks for posting. Colin.

David, I caught your poems at wrexham carnival of words, and the poem about your father's watch really touched me, so went looking for your other poems, and came across this one. I also grew up in aberystwyth before moving to wrexham and remember vividly plascrug, especially the day my dog jumped in the weed choked water. My parents also come from llanpadarn but they moved away, and for my dad's 70th birthday all he wanted was go go back to aber and revisit the walks and places of his youth, and top of the list was plascrug and remember the days he and my mum courted and planned their futures....and as it turned out me. Funny how a place is so important to so many. Thank you for sharing your poems, diolch am y cerddi.
