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

    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.

    God will paint rainbows in the sky
    Once again for the world and I.

    Freedom from this grim living hell.

Regrets, we've all had a few - sadly sometimes there's nothing one can do. One thing though is to learn by mistakes.

Love is everything the poem says and so much more. It's constantly putting those you love before yourself and anything else.

Throughout your life you'll forget many things,
but never the one who made your heart sing.
True love can never be put asunder.
Not even death's sting can steal love's thunder.

A beautiful and very moving tribute to a very courageous sister.

So sad that Kelly missed out
on all that life is about
To suffer in silence
with dignity and finesse
Shows what a wonderful strength
and selfless heart she possessed.
