Joyce Hemsley Poems

With tearful eyes I said my goodbyes
To Aunt and Uncle, many years ago.
Their home was Jackson Tennessee
Where Pearl River waters floweth free.
...

Romantic nights of song and dance
Still live within my heart
And when I recall our ecstasy
Beautiful memories start.
...

Romance
came at morning
love story without end
we stole a kiss by the river
...

The river flowed through meadows green
I saw the wild rose, pink and serene.
There came a voice from beyond the blue,
An angel from heaven said - it was you.
...

How very well I remember
The Second World War
And Winston Churchill's Coalition.
Parents of grammar school children
...

We both decided to dress in style
when visiting our 'long ago' friend
knowing for sure, he'd wear a smile
if we were clad in up-to-date trend.
...

Last night in my dream
he was smiling at me,
calling my name
'Sweet Rose of Tralee'.
...

Humour Intended:

It's a lovely day when you
'search' the humorous way.
...

Life seems full of toil and trouble
Some people are never set free.
When tired and weary in old age
There is still no tranquility.
...

Oh where, oh where has our love gone?
a love we shared, a love that shone
and made us happy through each day
just like a bird, it has flown away.
...

The wind that blows cold
across the ice-covered sea
is a southern and fearsome one
and the frosty, plantless,
...

Wondrous poems he writes
Nobody heeds them.
Beautiful songs he writes
Nobody sings them.
...

Diamond:

Education
and Inspiration
...

Many great Masters have taken flight
To America, leaving this Island of green...
Satisfying life's ambition to capture
The International scene.
...

Unable to glance at your legs today
He is mesmerised by your beautiful face.
And just cannot take his eyes away from
Two radiant cheeks and a smile of grace.
...

Bullets were flying
and soldiers were dying
as crimson poppies
swayed in the breeze,
...

My pastime is my garden fair
especially in the springtime air
The tulip song is here again
a red and golden serenade
...

Live your life and value each moment
As the bell chimes, reach for beautiful things
May the years be filled with joy and laughter
Wrapped in the magic that romance brings.
...

He met a sweet gentle maiden
Out where the bluebells grow.
Romantic first love came his way
Where the silent waters flow.
...

The traumatic Holocaust of World War Two
caused mass murder of Jewish society.
God's children ~ neglected, rejected
suffering great crime against humanity.
...

The Best Poem Of Joyce Hemsley

A Place Called Jackson

With tearful eyes I said my goodbyes
To Aunt and Uncle, many years ago.
Their home was Jackson Tennessee
Where Pearl River waters floweth free.
Elvis~ a friendly potentate
Was their 'Rock-a-Billy' man so great,
Now, in mid August of each year
The constellation of Jackson churches
Pay homage to that name so dear.
