Hi Sally, yes, I too like this list, but I tend to have long spells where
I'm so busy doing other things I haven't much time or energy to post or
comment. But I do read the poems and enjoy them all very much. (this comment
is for everyone on the list, NB!)
I am very struck by how prolific you are, Sally, good for you!
Gill

>>>Sounds of childhood.
>>>
>>>Early morning, and the clang of a metal bin
>>>slurp of a lorry grinding to a halt
>>>a pit siren beckoning people to work
>>>march of a clog on a stone cobble
>>>whistle of a train as it passes over a bridge
>>>clang of a trolley bus
>>>scraping out of ashes on a frosty morning.
>>>
>>>Afternoon, and the hiss of steam on washing day
>>>cry of a rag and bone man
>>>clip clop of horses hooves
>>>barks of stray dogs
>>>screech of children down the back road.
>>>
>>>Evening, and the whistle of a kettle
>>>fire crackling in a black leaded grate
>>>tick of a mantel clock
>>>creak of a rocking chair
>>>a wooden door opening
>>>and the voice of my mother singing.
