A HUNDRED YEARS AGO SPRING TIME RAMSGATE 1914 (WW1)

A hundred years ago it was spring again
Days becoming warmer and warmer

Daffodils out of bud , bobbing , swaying
In Ellington Park , with the spring breeze

Roses , showing in the local gardens

Blue bells ringing silently , colours , pealing out

At war in six months , hardly!
Imposable , it's spring time afterall!

Look there's old Jacky with his horse and cart
Cleaning the inner harbour
Old Jackie , shoveling the muck on the back of cart
Reveling the chalk underneath the muck

Getting the harbour cleaned up , ready for spring and summer to come

War , now thats just silly talk! In six months from now!
Some ones talking tommyrot! Stuff and nonsense!

I have a couple of history books. Your poems and them-excellent combination.

Good to read your wartime poems again. Who wants to believe in war? It was Spring!

Somehow it reminds me a bit about climate change these days. With the snow melting and the daffodils blooming, who wants to think of climate change and natural disasters?
