A tribute to my adopted city

Although I was born and grew up in London, and visit whenever I can, I relish returning to my adopted city: Norwich. I love the feeling I get when the train leaves the outskirts of London and fields become predominant; when I drive out of the car park near the station and down to Riverside, where boats bob and chug on the River Wensum. The car more or less drives itself home, the journey is so comfortable and familiar. So I have written a short tribute poem to Norwich.

A Fine City

Norwich is

A fine city

It fits

Like a comfortable

Pair of shoes

As I walk its easy streets

Take in its familiar views

From the top of Mousehold Heath

I can see the silhouette

Of the cathedral’s spire

As the evening sun sets

Dipping deeply

Bathing the skyline

In ethereal fire

Another Norwich sunset
