Welsh Englyn Form in the English Language

Old Friends Meeting - Englyn


Old friends meeting, sparing mean tales; bearing

Greeting with hails, laughter, gales

avoiding, twisting of tails

ieuan ap hywel (2006)

And a happy new year to all our readers. All three of you and the many thousands who read but never contribute.

I have one bottle of Whiskey, Bob.
It's not an expensive brand I'll admit, but it's not bad.
I'm not big on spirits anyway, just a sip now and then
if I have a cold or a bit down.

I posted this poem in an other forum and have had rave reviews.
I am humbled at the response.
