Meeting Elizabeth

Elizabeth

Elizabeth from Wales
Sips her coffee in Starbucks
And reads her old letters from home

She likes to write poems
And reads them out loud
On Wednesday at the bookstore

Elizabeth from Wales
Teaches in local schools
And shares Dylan Thomas with kids

She likes to sign in a choir
And her pretty voice soars
On Fridays at the Church

Elizabeth from Wales
Loves her ex husbamd
Who just threw her stuff on the street

She likes to listen to the BBC
And looses herself in the news of the day
On Sundays in her adopted land
