Wales - Poems

My Beautiful Wales

I think I would cry
If they made me say GOODBYE
To the beautiful land of Wales.

With the mountains so high,
Crystal streams running by,
All this in beautiful Wales.

Welsh rugby's a treat,
It's a great place to meet,
At the Millennium stadium in Wales.

Castle and leek,
The language we speak,
You can tell that we come from Wales.

This country is great!
Don't leave it too late,
To visit my beautiful Wales!

WALES

Wales is a land of castles and views,
Of lamb and cockles and delicious stews.
Wales is a land of choirs and coal,
Of people who laugh, with men on the dole.
Wales is a land of tips and waste
Where owners grabbed profits and left in haste,
Where headgears idle and die with rust
Where colliers gasp and cough up dust.
But Wales is a land, in spite of it all,
That goes mad with the joy of a rugby ball.
A match at the park with England to beat
The forwards tear through them, the ball at their feet.
Wales score thirty points, England four
Just revenge for days of yore
So remember boy you're a Cymro with a heart full of pride.
You'll play to win and never give in with all that 'hwyl' inside.
Remember our forefathers who fought in hills and dales.
Who left us our inheritance this lovely land called WALES.

Valley of daffodils

Living in a valley of daffodils
Not one, could others see
But my heart knew they were there,
Through the winds blowing free
They tipped every mountain
Cascaded to the waters edge
Trumpets all saluting
As to heavens rightful pledge
They showed me of the beauty
That was created for us to share
In this land of music trumpets sound,
whispering on air
Some harvested into homes
Brightening the rooms
Lightness of the yellows
Still whispering their tunes
How these daffodils in vision
Took me home to sleep
Cradled in mothers arms
A blanket of daffodils deep
The aroma of the scents
That fills every nook
Could never really be captured
In the words of a book
Their beauty is unfounded
Standing to attention
Sunrays compelling their shades
As your eyes are driven to retention
To capture daffodils on the breeze
Grasp out to hold and gain
Visualising thoughts of serenity
In your heart to remain.
