Welcome

Hi all,

Thank you for all your poems inspired by Patten’s “Geography Lesson”.

It was also interesting to see the type of poetry you like: Michael Rosen’s “Chocolate Cake” proved very popular.

I hope you enjoy this week’s poem “The Visitor”.

 

Michael.

  1. Geography Lesson by Brian Pattern

    Our teacher told us one day he would leave the school
    and escape to a glisting beach.
    Swimming ammungst the tropical fish
    and swaying palm trees out of his reach

    The house he lived in was narrow and grey
    the house he wished for was luxirous and warm
    Lush burry bushes growing in his paradise
    with coconut shells torn.

    cleared water lapping in the moat
    where it was always hot and never cold
    and I couldn’t understand why he never left
    and shook of our schools stranglehold.

    The house he lived in was narrow and grey
    the house he wished for was luxirous and warm
    lush berry bushes growing in his paradise
    with coconut shells torn

    cleared water lapping in the moat
    where it was always hot and never cold
    and I couldn’t understand why he never left
    and shook of our schools stranglehold

  3. Our teacher cried one day he would abandon the school

    And to locations he hade longed to be .
    And float across a warm sea
    The places he lived in was depressing and dark
    But in his mind he could see fresh fragrant roses clambering up palaces
    And green lime leaf on a lime tree.
