Lappersfort Poem
Green deep green as if Lorca saw and named you as if all of the green of the world came to here in shades and tints that call aloud the beauty of this place Briwn deep brown as if Ritos sough to bless this place that showed the deeper hues of the world - hues I walked amidst and knew this was the origin of the world Lappersfort more than your beauty invades my mind as i sit at dawn in the cool of the world to make my unfashionable prayer that you be preserved and be strong Strong as you are to the seeking mind strong as you are to the loving heart strong as you are in a too busy world which does not pause to greet you Martin Burke, Lappersfort Poets Society
