Grandma’s English
My grandma’s English
a royalist so sweet,
with embroidered hankies
and pinnies pressed neat.
Doilies on the dresser
scent of talc and rose,
Freshly starched linen
memories that let you doze.
A cottage with thatching
with lavender in rows,
little grey cobbles
knee deep in snow.
Strolling hand in hand
pebbles by the sea,
It’s turning quite chilly
it must be time for tea.
Comfort by the hearth
wool close at hand,
An hourglass has no time
without any sand.
My homeland is distant
a land and sea away,
Now filled with grandma’s love
all I want to do is stay.

I have just loved making this cushion...
and hope you will too...
Where have I been? Looks as if I have missed some of your lovely posts, oh dear.
ReplyDeleteThis cushion is just stunning and brilliant! I do think you'll have a lot of takers for it.
I also must tell you that you have inspired me. With your chevron blanket and what you wrote about it's meaning to you. I have a quilt that was made by my grandmother but, she left it unfinished. It has been sitting in a box since she passed and I just haven't been able to get myself to finish it. There really isn't much left to do still...something kept stopping me. I have been inspired by your tale of granny love to finish the quilt and give it to Pony Girl for Christmas. Thank you my dear for giving me just the kick in the pants I needed.
Much love.
Oh, I love your poem so much!

Rule Brittania!! Love the poem too :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is fab, I've been working on one in Black, Grey and cream oblong in shape and it is driving me crazy, but then it is in big wool and using a v large hook. I am close to the pulling it apart stage and giving up but yours may have inspired me to keep going. Nicky x
