I wrote these two poems, from 'Repeat Fees' (His Only Sonnet (2017), when in Sintra, Portugal, which, two hundred years ago, was one of George Gordon Byron's favourite places to visit.

#NCCR #poetycommunity #friendship The gentle lyricism of Charlotte Mew (15 November 1869 - 24 March 1928) and the more robust language of A. E. Housman (26 March 1859 - 30 April 1936) used to express the enduring qualities of love and friendship.
