Lymetrent: Poems

Dale Hall

Dale Hall is the pen name of Les Oldfield

Blue Lake (left with a lie) by Dale Hall

Through the lush tranquil valley of Apedale wood
a Blue Lake of rich colour turned into falsehood.
We’d skip School to swim in the lake of a lie
and grew up too late without saying goodbye.
Each year that passed more appreciative we became
yet much of our childhood is but merely a name.
Today kids play on devices to pass time away
parents tell of the outdoors they think they should play.
They look up to their parents in giving their reply
these devices are out there to prove they’re no lie…

I first became interested in poetry when I was 14 having read Lewis Carroll’s The Aged Aged Man poem. Although at the time the poem was a tad over my head, it would seem some years later I would find much of what he wrote was gobbledygook anyway. The The Aged Aged Man will always be my favourite poem and Lewis Carroll my favourite Poet for having inspired me all those years ago…

My soul mate is somewhere out there fishing

England - Unfinished

Such a beautiful land I’m proud to call home

lush meadows and valley’s, with high peaks to roam.

Lying nestled between Scotland and Wales:

sharing bygone history in mystical tales.

There’s so much to tell to know where to start

we once had a Princess who captured our heart!

A dark moment for Britain that won’t go away

hence the memory of Diana remains to this day.

Candlelit lampposts and the Thames under ice

a skate to the market now that would be nice.

A box girder bridge formed of concrete and steel

spans the river Thames in a nursery rhyme ordeal.

A monument in Wiltshire rising 13 feet high

of debated many reasons that no one knows why?

Glastonbury Festival throughout a 5 day

whatever the weather will blow you away.

Devon and Cornwall for summers we dream

a knickerbocker glory and tea please with cream.

Chalk filtered Rivers through meadows flow by

whence fully winged insects flirt-ate in the sky.

Dreams of tomorrow

Meadows of perennial colour dispense a natural flair,
delicate petals gracefully open as vixens hunt the hare.
Pollinating insects forage amongst a welcoming bloom,
a nectar gut filled gratitude toasts the bride and groom.
An orchestra in the atmosphere maintains a tender beat,
accompanied by machinery as farmers thrash the wheat.

Amid the perennial colours, petals of war unfold,
dishes from the poppy seed are temporarily placed on hold.
Man’s armoury shows no mercy as outbursts often maim;
the poppy takes no side in war as relieving soldiers pain.
Evil has no place on earth through God it will be shown
in laying to rest our hero’s sending the majority home.

Meadows of spectacular colour, burst with vigorous bloom,
annual petals of admiration, are pinned to mourn the gloom.
The vixens hunt the hare, in meadows filled with sorrow,
where our soldiers bravely fought, for dreams of tomorrow...

Penny’s from Heaven

I’ve seen a Penny shining in the Isle of white

Shining was a Penny sore for any sight

Penny is no coin that’s used to flip a tail

Penny is a Goddess of the Holy Grail

I’m not sure if Penny fell into my dream

Penny’s from Heaven the one I have seen…

>Cassandra<

She simply looks lovely though more I can say

if looks were the wind she’d blow you away.

Her eyes surpass stars of shimmering light,

Northern lights rejoice with utter delight.

The sun also performs a spectacular show

as her hair reflects rays from a beautiful flow.

Her lips are as sweet as the fruit on a vine,

Cassandra looks in every way so divine...

...................................................................................

>Christine<

Christine was not my first love but she did reign most supreme

each day she joined me in my thoughts accompanying every dream.

Her body was a curving structure of the most alluring sex appeal

had Playboy ever got to see her they’d have swiftly signed a deal.

Sadly some things we admire are destined to come to an end

after many years it was broken my heart is back on the mend.

My feelings were inspired by images I felt honoured to see

of the sexiest woman in nylons who rocked the world for me.

.................................................................................

>Daisy<

Mother Nature saved the best for her last design

and created a special flower with petals so divine.

She placed the finest petals around a nectar head of gold

in tiers of vibrant colours for mid-summers to unfold.

She then baptised her flower in the early morning dew

and named her flower Daisy, awaiting the arrival of you….…

>Sharon was fired<

I don’t get the reason why Sharon was fired?

It was just a tad naughty some fetish admired.

Many won’t have a problem with what Sharon did

It’s something we all do but just keep it hid.

The thing she was doing was all done alone

without touching her body or giving a moan.

so I disagree with the action they made

it was in her own time even if she got paid.

The ones that have sacked her watch her display

as they fund the website, yet that is okay.

So I might write to Boris and lay down the fact;

as she wasn’t alone in breach of a work act…

Rudolph

My name is Father Christmas though Santa will do fine

I have a red nose reindeer that’s a very good friend of mine

my friends name is Rudolph and although he’s rather shy

he’s really very special, because Rudolph can fly

One day when he was flying, now Rudolph didn’t know

the higher up he went, the colder it would go

he returned one evening, with ice around his nose

it’s from that day to this; it’s red and always glows

He asked if he could help me to pull a sleigh with toys

he also said that in one night they’d reach all girls and boys

I know Rudolph is special, but don’t take it from me

when you wake up on Christmas day, just look under your tree.

About a Book

If you should look inside a buck

this would mean the buck was dead

and through bad luck the buck had died

this made it possible to be viewed inside.

In closing the chapter on the bucks last stride

you could perform an autopsy on how it died?

If you say you can read a buck

you’d know the buck was out of luck

by having a vet there before it died

to increase its chance to be revived.

Could it be you were somewhat mistook,

and that you looked inside and read a book?

Swine flu

One little piggy went the doctors

because one little piggy was bad

now every little piggy that’s seen the doctor

has caught what the little piggy had.

If the doctor went to see the little piggy

encouraging poorly little piggy’s stay in bed

then assigned to cases of poorly little piggy’s

a disease may not have widely spread.

Or doctors could have gone to school

as treat the poorly little piggy’s there

but as they knew not what they were doing
swine flu spread just about everywhere.

Wimpy

In tune with a famous Beatles song

Wimpy first opened in London in 1954 and were the first to serve hamburger meals in the UK.

The bacon burgers and sausages on the international grill were to die for.

World of wonder

If half the money that is spent on war

aided poverty, protect and cure.

Every soul would peacefully slumber

to awake each day in a world of wonder…

Gorsty Hall

The Gorsty Hall at Balterley once attracted customized wheels

houses now stand on its ground overlooking rod and reels

They say the fishing is excellent although it’s rather dear
maybe a ghost of Gorsty Hall sprinkles the lake with beer?

Embarrassing day

The day had no reason not to start on a high

I had a workplace induction to help me get by.

In waking that morning the problem began

as all things intended would not go to plan.

When people tell of tales one could not write

I witness first hand and longed for the night.

Maybe it was a warning and thence explains so

and for whatever reason I was not meant to go.

One thing’s for sure I’m glad see the day pass

the day was like venom injecting pain in the ass.

The only page in my lifetime I’d throw away

is in quotation of this most embarrassing day…

Don Good Little Earner

Don was on a train when he needed check his mails

but he couldn’t get the internet until he left the rails.

Whilst thinking of a way in commuting to and fro

he designed a Dongle or the con stick pay and go.

When the laptop detected his device via plug and play

his dongle went to Christie’s to obtain the highest pay.

Now Don can use it anytime without a conditional fee

well shafted in the rear are the likes of you and me.

They say it can last 30 days, but there’s just one sting

you need be like a creature that hibernates till spring.

A true occurrence

Ddoouubbllee dreammaerd

I was walking through the woods where a railway used to be,

when a slightly transparent clown jumped out in front of me.

A crocodile was about to choke

I’m so glad it didn’t actually,

Somewhat relieved that I awoke

for it would have choked on me.

A Pampers seal of commitment

Replacing the vow

British relationships are like pampers they’re becoming a temporary fit

with plenty of hugs and cuddles until they’re full of shit

The solemn vow one promises is sadly allowed to fade

and treated with equal fragility as something poultry’s laid

So as my heart’s not turned into an omelette by some other lass

I’ll be polite not tell cupid kiss my donkey by expressing I’ll take a pass….

A true occurrence

Boy blue

(Stoke-on-Trent’s crooked cop)

Boy Blue wore a uniform having pledged an uphold oath

one would think to serve the public and not an ego growth.

Boy Blue was somewhat different he hungered for the stars

he played the low life hero; not man enough earn the scars.

I came across the Boy Blue warrior in entering my address,

he spun so much yarn of bullshit deceiving to impress.

Salmon’s made me plead guilty to a crime I did not do,

for a prison sentence falsified by crooked cop Boy Blue.

Records actually show some blue coins turn out bent,
Boy blue being so much more he put his arse for rent.

Much later I was arrested whilst living in Stoke-on-Trent

whilst getting booked in the station a lovely hand was lent

I thought it was just a prostitute in helping the time expire

when in fact it was a beautiful solicitor offering her services to hire

She could see past her opposition that I was an easy win

after following her instructions an officer lost his grin.
In phoning the police to recurring incidents was just like I’m not there

I kept on repeating the same procedure until I didn’t really care.

Hence I finally retaliated in knocking the culprits to the floor

then I get away with the offence I did, so much for the law…
AND RIGHTLY SO

Steven’s solicitors would have cremated Boy Blue!

Before you open your mouth from a brush in with the law

Phone Steven’s Solicitors and ask them to represent you.
Highly Recommended

Uniforms can be misleading remember there’s just a human that’s inside

although so many correctly wear the gown, some just use it for the ride.

Now isn’t that correct Boy Blue!

cops are getting bad publicity recently; Boy Blue's are everywhere they are even in charge of police forces now that is just a kick in the nuts to everyone they put in jail.
I am not anti-police I am simply against law enforcers that commit offences while on duty or break the law when they are not…

So I'm done talking to the police without a Solicitor present
