Those Novels of Lorna Doon
My mother once read as a child,
Clusters of Lilac Heather and Yellow Gorse
Among thy bracken grow so wild.
High above cloudless skies, sun shines
Down below there's the deep blue sea,
'Tis the way of life for some that's true,
Tho' for me, it's only a dream, a fantasy.
Dramatic cliff rocks
Descend from Porlock Hill
And in the far distance lies
Clovelly and Lymouth, where time stands still.
Colour washed cottages
On cobbled streets I see
And there's ye olde church
Which remains in the valley
" Oh How I Wish that I could
really call this home,
And as we drive o'er ye moors,
O' Where Thy Exmoor Ponies Roam".....

You describe this place very well, even if I don't understand the older English as well. (I'm an American... and a Tennesseen as that goes so my English isn't nearly that pretty.) Great write. Short suggestion if you don't mind.... the shorter the author notes are, the more likely people are to read the poem. This is really good though... hopefully I will see more of your stuff on here.
