And as she lay dying

I sat by the church,

the choir were singing

for peace on this earth.

 

They called to their God

in heaven above,

they prayed for redemption

forgiveness and love.

 

The grave yard was ancient

full of sinners and saints,

lichens and moss

made the epitaphs feint.

 

God promised you heaven

where the angels dwell,

and I am alone now

you’ve left me in hell.

It’s that time of year and yet again I am jaunting off on retreat for a fortnight. I won’t be back until 27th June. So I thought I would leave you with my Top Ten most liked poems as chosen by you! But… then I looked, and there were some real crackers in positions 11 to 15 – so I thought I’d cheat and include those too! I hope you enjoy reading them and I will return soon, hopefully with some new gems 🙂

Click on the title to take you to the original poem 🙂 Enjoy!!
