The crab stiletto legs

you just copied wikipedia

I remember reading a poem of Betjeman's set in the Botanic garden but so far haven't managed to track it down

I'm looking for a poem that begins: Are you one who lies adreaming supine, satisfied and steaming... I'm pretty sure it's Betjeman - it sounds like him - but I can't find it anywhere

I am looking for his poem that lists a whole lot of Dorset villages with odd names including Ryme Intrinseca. Can anyone help?

I would love to know from any kind members if Sir John Betjeman wrote this about Budleigh Salterton - " The blood is so blue in Budleigh.. etc

I used to love playing Sir John's links at St Enodoc and one poem rings very true for me as I have " birdied" the same hole as he did...

I'm looking for a poem...I'm sure it's one of Betjemans...it contains the line.....Sixteen aching arms.....reference to rowers. Can anyone help? Thanks M

Amazing ❤️ His work

The quintessential English poet of the 20th century, the fact that he's easy to read doesn't detract from his genius.

Bon Marche is found in the poem Parliament Hill Fields, second verse.

JB was my dads favourite poet. He once told me he remembers a poem by him with the line/phrase Bon Marche, the Electric Palace. Does any one know of any such poem by John Betjeman?
