The Beautiful Game

Spurs
White Hart Lane
a weekend with my dad.

There was me
all dungarees and pigtails
standing on the terrace
soaked with rain.

As I shivered
he wrapped me in his coat
held me close.
Beautiful
that was.

Not as beautiful as watching those wonderful Spurs!

Nice one Tony:-) Actually, although I was born and brought up in Tottenham, and my dad was surely a Spurs supporter, I always supported Arsenal!!

That's kids for ya!

Thanks for reading.

Another quality read, I'm not always able to read poetry as i can find myself getting lost in it but yours always read with clarity and portray great imagery. Looking forward to the next! Dan

Thanks so much Dan. It's nice to know my poetry hits the spot - for you at least. Your thoughts much appreciated.
