This is my first post on here and it may take me a little while to work my way round her so bear with me.

AsI haveadded in my profile myself and my partner Dai love to explore the Welsh countryside ;he is a genius with the camera and I write the poems/article etc.

I write poetry in Welsh and English but mainly in English.

LatelyI have been experimenting here at home composing poems in various genre; this one is a Rictameter poem.

In Rictameter poetry the syllables run in each line as follows:- 2,4,6,8,10,8,6,4,2.

All comments welcome especially constructive criticism;I hope you enjoy.

A favourite haunt of mine;

Carew Castle in South Wales.

xxxx-

So proud

Yes so mighty

Every memory thrives

Sensing those soldiers approaching

Yesteryear beckons us to its bosom

Protection so felt in each stone

Raw strength will conquer all

Carew Castle

So proud.

I now look forward to sharing; reading and getting to know many of you on here.

Diolch yn fawr.
