Guy-Paul Mitchell-Dwelly Poems

Windy Gap

We down our tools ‘cross the fields we trip
To the famous landmark at Landslip
...

From an idea by Sophie Mitchell-Dwelly

Before the coming of the night
I see the moon rise all dressed in white
...

Amanita Muscaria

The Green Man strains to the winter call
As Summer memories surrender to Fall
...

The heat above the terracotta town
Turns the fields to golden brown
The bronzed men with raging thirst
Tend the vines fit to burst
...

Dedicated to Andy Wilson - Lost at sea 1979

There once was a man who took on the ocean
In a boat built at school with love and devotion
...

With your long blonde hair to your shoulders
And your pretty eyes of blue
In the Summer or even when it's colder
My love for you is true
...

Tall ships in the harbour
Waiting for a sailing far away
Stones across the water
Herring gulls drifting across the bay
...

On a cold winter's morning in December
While heavy snow lay upon the ground
There was an air of sweet expectation
Around the fire side families gathered round
...
