The moon takes up the wondrous tale...... (correct with DH Lawrence)

In the licorice fields of Pontefract, my love and I did meet...........

and I in pyjamas for the heat

(no perhaps not) - sorry couldn't resist that)

try
and many a ?burdened? licorice bush was blooming at our feet
(that's Betjeman!)

My candle burns at both ends, it will not last the night

'But ah, my foes,and oh, my friends,
It gives a lovely light'


It seemed that out of battle I escaped
Down some profound dull tunnel...............

long since scooped through granites which titanic wars had groined (Rather depressing stuff this war poetry! Can we have a nice song now, please?)

When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur . .

"..And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze"


Behold his flame, that placid dame, the moon's celestial highness...

There's not a trace upon her face of diffidence or shyness.



What's in your mind, my dove, my coney?

Do thoughts grow like feathers, the dead end of life..........


Now as I was young and easy under the apple boughs........

I slipped and hit one of the cows





Over the hills lived a very old man .....

Don't know the next line, sorry...

So I looked it up via Google. Which gives two links, both of which lead to this forum thread.

so that's why this thread went into a kind of coma ... had wondered !

Shall we give it a jolt to re-start it? Maybe Lizbun will come back and give us the answer later . . .

"Thunderbolt and lightning, very very frightening me"

Galileo!!! Galileo!!!!

I'd like to be under the sea...

and he lives there... Mr Bean!


if happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow...

...why oh why - can't IIIIIIIIII?





Such a dazzling coat of colours
How I love my coat of many colours

In a class above the rest
It even went well with his vest

Paint her in; watching one colour end and one begin...

Red and yellow and green and brown
And scarlet and black and ochre and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And red and yellow and green and brown and blue???
I think I may have missed one out. x

I'm pretty sure it ends : red and yellow and orange and purple and blue...

But then again, you know my memeory!!

sorry

Since another line hasn't been added, I'll add one of mine that wasn't done earlier .

Paint her in: watching one colour end and one begin...

Brush away what's stray
Add a finishing touch
The rapture cold as a pearl


How about -

" . . your joists are full of dry rot
But I'll put them all to rights".

Then he nailed right through a cable - and out went all the lights!

"How many streets must a man walk down before he can call himself a man?"

I'm not sure, it's exactly right... but is it:
How many seas must the white dove sail, before she sleeps in the sand...?

I stand for the strange and lonely, I believe there's a better way...
