World Poetry Day

Hi all! I've not been posting as much as I would like to, though I do have a post up my sleeve which will be written between now and mid-April.. However I really wanted to write something for World Poetry Day, so I'm going to post links to some poems I like. If you check my Facebook page, I have quoted a few poems already. Guilt by John Betjeman This Be The Verse by Philip Larkin Things by Fleur Adcock Station by Connie Bensley  (from Poems on the Underground) Day in Autumn by Rilke These are just a few poems I like or find interesting. 'Guilt' is probably my favourite of these five. Thanks for reading, and if you like my blog, remember to check my FB page for more updates and quotes.
