About Beryl Edmonds

My interest and love of poetry began at school, when I was fourteen years of age. The class were given the project of writing an anthology of verse, using our own poetry and designing the cover for our book.
I really enjoyed the project and still have the book I made.
Poetry has remained a lifelong hobby, I enjoy reading and writing poems to this very day.

As poets we may not have a stake
in the Hall of Fame
Or not even Poet Laureate
put beside our name
But there's one thing tho' all poets know
that is for certain
Poetry's in the blood since life begun
till close of curtain.

    The world must become a much better place
    Where more people dwell with a smile on their face
    Living together in kinship and peace
    A world full of hope where joys never cease.

    It's time to embrace every culture,
    One flock, one shepherd, one fold
    Whatever our race, hue or faith
    We're all made from the same mould.

    When dementia creeps in through the back door,

    Teachers proudly stand in front of the class
    With knowledge and influence en masse,
    Igniting a flame in curious minds
    Proficiently as the lessons unwind.

Lovely poetry, Marisol. Love is a beautiful gift. When love is returned, the flame of love burns, and two hearts beat as one. My wish for you is that your dream comes true.

Memories are our movie collections kept safe in mind. When we're sad and missing someone we love, we can replay them anytime. A wonderful gift is our memory, without it there would be no point at all in sharing precious moments that we could never recall. A lovely poem!

If Paul Laurence Dunbar were still here on earth, I'd tell him how wonderful those words were in his poem called Sympathy. A bird needs to feel the wind beneath its wings, for the freedom that flying brings. Birds are born free and that's how they should be, not kept in caged captivity. The same goes for mankind as no one should ever be oppressed, everyone has the right to live their life without feeling under arrest.

Wonderful poetry, Mark. Well said. It's a fact that mothers always know what's for the best.
