through Bishop’s Park enduring
South West Six music

while kids throw stones to water
no thought of trouble

on the water as we pause
silent boatmen pass

Notes

‘The Enduring Melody’ is the title of a book by Michael Mayne. ‘Cantus Firmus’- meaning ‘fixed music’- is the title of a painting by Bridget Riley. Some things endure, whatever the division.

Editor Note: Our Football Poets on Facebook haiku of The Week~
Great ‘enduring’ images Alex. Keep on.

On a personal level, my childhood weekends were the Bridge one
Saturday and the Cottage the next.. We played football in Bishops Park as kids. One of the best walks to a game on the planet.
