National Poetry Day
Yes, today is indeed National Poetry Day... and in honour, here are links to a few of my favourite poems...
Starting with two by Spike Milligan that I can still remember from school:
Granny
On The Ning Nang Nong
My very favourite poem by Percy Bysshe Shelly:
The Cloud
A bit of Robert Burns:
Tam O'Shanter
And ending with a bit of Alfred Lord Tennyson:
The Lady Of Shallot
Tennyson has both a link to me (same birthday) and to Orkney (amazingly, he visited here, and was made a Freeman of Kirkwall).
