Poet’s Corner
Inspired by a poem sent in from an avid reader of Moor Times (see ‘A Word From The Editor’) Poet’s Corner was started to encourage people to send in their most loved poem, whether it be well known or in fact written by themselves it makes no difference. The use of language in poetry, and in song, has always managed to touch people in a way that very few things can and invariably we all have a personal favourite. Here are some that readers have sent in. I hope you like them as well.

Five Windows
by ‘C’
I dreamed of five windows
All with a view
Most facing South
But one window long
For a guitarist to strum and song
The light filtered in, on a shoe
From one window
Trees to one side
Old men yarning and sitting
Feeding treats to a dog or two
The mule drank daily at four
While the music man sat by the door
Five windows with light
Trees to one side
The sea through the mist
Roof tops in front
The remains of the pork
And guitarist waiting to be kissed
