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).
