16/03/2024 - Pembrokeshire Poet Was Born

Sunday 16th June

I wish someone had said to me 

When I was a little girl

You have a gift for writing

And poetry could be your pearl

I never really thought about

Putting pen to paper 

I was too busy 

Having a good caper

There was a teacher in my primary school

Mrs Davies and she was cool

I saw her when I was all grown up 

And she said I was no fool

She told me how she’d loved my stories

How my imagination had run riot 

I listened to her politely

But I still remained quite quiet

Then many, many years later 

I penned a silly poem 

It seemed that people liked it

So perhaps I’m not so dumb 😂
