I like walking in Epping Forest and writing dreadful poetry.

When did 4 English players each score in a Premiership match? (for the same side) #bbcfootball

Tottenham fans have had to yearn
For the prodigal's return.
At last! That long-forgotten phrase -
"Bale is out for 30 days".

These cows, it seems, have got it made.
I like the way they think.
Hot sunny days spent in the shade,
And a pint or two to drink.

Most people love the Dorset coast
Where waves wash on the sand.
But, for me, what I love most
Is just a little moor land.

Moors or coastline? Can’t chose which.
I guess I’m fifty fifty.
I know I like my landscape rich
But I like my coast path Thrifty.

Springtime paints the brightest scene -
A million different shades of green.
Emerald, jade, mint, olive, lime –
I’d list them all but I don’t have time.

In Wanstead’s sunlight-dappled glade,
Nature casts its bluest shade.

Here’s a heron’s diary.
(Sounds a little drab to me).
Monday – stood beside a lake.
Rest of week – stood by a lake.
Weekend – time to have a break.
Think I’ll stand beside a lake.

"First Woman to Conduct First Prom."
Somewhat tricky to believe -
Where to get First Woman from?
Are they resurrecting Eve?

Tis strange that in the darkest night
The moon doth shine its brightest light.
Just so, through springtime's dreary gloom,
Doth blossom fair most brightly bloom.

#Blackthorn #Blossom brings cheer and a sweet scent on a #GreyDay at #ConnaughtWater.
Where have you been #Walking in the rain?

Excuse my French, but flipping hell!
Sky won't show the IPL.
They'll take my money all the same.
They just won't show a single game.

I’m sorry but no verse today:
My rhyming muse is all but lost.
Alas, I had so much to say
But nothing seems to rhyme with ‘frost’.

Alan Smith, Alan Smith,
Your expertise is just a myth.
You're boring and you're biased, to boot.
You're why I've got Sky Sports on mute.

The Forest’s a winter wonderland,
Dusted by Jack Frost’s frozen hand.
And why are there no avalanches?
‘Cos the snow is caught by branches.

I talk to ducks, who seem to lack
The eloquence to answer back.
If anybody’s wonderin’,
I talk to them in Mandarin.

Near High Beach there’s a little stream
Where oft I stand, perchance to dream.
But clogged by leaves, it cannot run.
Like me, its running days are done.

Hurrah! Hooray!
It’s Boxing Day,
Although it’s somewhat murky.
We’ve had our feast
So now, at least,
There’s no more flipping turkey.

A monster crawling through the trees,
Felled by winter’s brutal breeze:
Do you lurk and lie in wait
For those who cannot navigate?
#EppingForest #poetry #trees

[EppingForestPoet @EppingPoet]

The beech tree hides its glossy roots
‘Neath fallen leaves and mossy boots.
Its branches though are bare and stark –
It needs a jumper for its bark.

@guardianletters All this talk of Foakes and Stokes
(And reselecting good old Woakes)
Gives rise to far too many jokes.
Best to call the whole team "Blokes"
