Collessie ©

by Robbie Kennedy Bennett
(Codsall)

Collessie, I walked your peaceful lanes in springtime,
Time stood still as I walked your lanes in springtime.
Flowers in their beds not long from birth,
Planted with care in God’s pure earth.
Collessie, I walked your peaceful lanes in springtime.
I rested a while by the Kirk yard wall,
The square tower and spire, standing tall.
Collessie, I walked your peaceful lanes in springtime.
Thatched cottage buildings made by hand,
And weavers’ homes they still stand.
The handlooms that once would echo around,
It’s different now for I hear no sound.
Collessie, I walked your peaceful lanes in springtime.
Time stood still as I walked your lanes in springtime.
I rested a while by the Kirk yard wall,
The square tower and spire, standing tall.
High in the Kirk is a view to behold,
In weavers’ homes, are there stories to be told?
Collessie, I walked your peaceful lanes in springtime.

A very English village
by: Captain Pugwash

Maybe its just the way the church building looks as it stands out amongst the small cottages, but Collessie always reminds me of a very English village; it truly has 'peaceful lanes in springtime..' Nice poem Robbie - I will revisit the village again this year.

Another delightful Poem
by: May

Thanks again Robbie for sharing your talent with us. You really capture Collessie in this one. I love to go to Birnie Loch and look over and see the Church Tower. It's such a peaceful area. Now I plan (when the weather gets a bit warmer) to go for a wee walk around the village itself. I love the photograph too. Thanks for that.
