Sylvia on the Moors
__________________
The Calder Valley—
A deep gorge running thru
The Pennine Mountains
West Yorkshire hillsides
Rising steeply to plateau
On the wild moorland
___________________________
Sylvia like Emily Brontë—
Hughes like some brooding
Heathcliff sullen moody
Mytholmroyd man of moors
Making everything slightly
Unpleasant about him
__________________________
Ages of forgotten darkness—
Elmet last Celtic Kingdom
Lost invasions, symbolic
Salmon, hawks and eagles
Calder valley mythology
The Kingdom of Elmet
_______________________
Sylvia typing away—
Incessantly autobiographical
Carefully nursing her neat
Wellesley writings about life
Hunting & pecking away on
Her keyboard on the moors
