It's the 41st this coming weekend, hence I post this poem... 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. http://www.walkaboutsverse.741.com
