Poem 193 of 230: THE 35TH MORPETH NORTHUMBRIAN GATHERING – SPRING 2002
Toward Morpeth's Gathering, Either side of Great North Road, Daffodils gleefully showed Their stalk-dressing flowering.
And then, at the Gathering, Another great flowering Of English heritage, showed Through competitions that glowed With competent folk-singing, Storytelling, bag-piping (The small-pipes rapidly rode By hands, in staccato mode), Clogdancing and stick-dressing: Things that are worth addressing.
