West Yorkshire


10/03/2012
Every inch void concrete, brick or stone
Blossoms beautiful bursts of nature
Crippled sticks creep through cracks
Of towns so full of nurture

Every margin man has missed
On every impossible angle
Land is steeped with climbing moss,
Shrubbery that does stand and tangle

Valleys denting rolling hills
Village dense survival
Where people, plants and precipitation
Are all equal friend to rival

Streams a winding mimic gliding
Landscapes cut from rock
Slants and slopes slither southward
With farmland sitting top

The sandstone, slate and dust collate
With rabbits, twigs and harvest
Creating colour scheming drawings
A crayon canvas with no artist

The weaving roads need willing walls
To warn off all the wild
Of dandelions and shrubbery
Encroaching from both sides

Houses, with the woodland
All hunching in a row
With embroidered finite fences
Failing to stop flora grow

Standing solid, spire churches
Are like pins stuck in a map
But at the very bottom
The graves lay under grass

Samh
