It’s #NationalPoetryDay and here’s a poem about the view out of my Cornish window. graylightfoot.co.uk/2024/11/28/t...

My poem RAIN CARNATIONS about the over-indulgence of floral tributes was filmed at The National Dahlia Collection, formerly at Varfell, Penzance but now at Kehelland, Camborne. Couldn’t find any carnations… #poem #floraltributes Worth watching for the dahlias. youtu.be/qMxHxmdrPhw?...

IT’S BRONN WENNILI, STUPID! image from Jetty Street Press It’s BRONN WENNILI, stupid! (for Craig Weatherhill, Delynyer Hendhyscans/Draughtsman of Archeology) Revered height, capstone of Kernow. Which ancient Cornish kings lay Beneath your snaggle-toothed cairns? What mystical alignment emanates…

A poem about Glendalough, Co.Wicklow, Ireland #Ireland #poem #poetry #Glendalough #StKevin #Heaney graylightfoot.co.uk/2025/09/03/a...

A SOFT EVENING AT GLENDALOUGH I've been fortunate enough in my life to visit some beautiful places, many of which are but a short journey from my home. My first visit to Glendalough, the 'monastic city' (in truth a collection of small religious buildings dating back to the 12th century) in County…

15 englyns (Cornish haikus) about Cornwall today…one for each of the bezants on the Cornish crest #Cornwall #Kernow #poetry graylightfoot.co.uk/2025/07/21/t...

Finally got it right - 15 Englyns (Celtic haikus), one for each bezant on the Cornish crest…about Cornwall. #Kernewek #Cornwall #poetry graylightfoot.co.uk/2025/07/23/a...

AN PYMTHEK BESONT A GERNOW First let me put things straight. My ability to speak Cornish is not this good. When somebody speaks to me in Cornish (Kernewek), my first reaction is to panic and hope that one of my stock Cornish replies will fit the bill. I have a better understanding of written…

THE FIFTEEN BESANTS OF CORNWALL I would like to thank Tim Saunders (fellow poet and bryntynn Cornish speaker) for putting me in the way of the Englyn (plural: Englynyon), an ancient Celtic verse form. This form of poetry, which I might liken to a Celtic haiku, has been widely represented in the…

A poem about the beauty of churches. #poetry #churches #Catholicbling

IGLESIAS DE LOS MARTIERES, CIRIACO Y PAULA, MALAGA (The Church of the Martyrs, St Cyriaco and St Paula) I no longer really enjoy visiting stately homes as much as I used to. We, the visitors, walk around bearing witness to the opulence the noble family once lived in (maybe still do). As I walk…

Apparently a tractor fan too... #NeilParish #CornwallUK #Kernow #Melor #TruroUK

I used to drive on this road on a regular basis and wrote a poem called No 6 (the old Mousehole route number - now the M6) which narrates the journey. I split it into four separate poems on video. Which you can find at www.graylightfoot.co.uk This is part 4 - Mousehole #Cornwall #poetry

Cornwall - flag…chapel…palm tree

My local Cornish team Penzance AFC won the Walter C Parsons Cup 8-7 after a penalty shoot-out against Cullompton Rangers at Launceston. Tough game…but we won!

Dancing thrift at Pendower Coves at the far west of Cornwall.

The coastal path coming down from Gwennap Head into Porthgwarra, Cornwall is a riot of blue and white (bluebells and three-cornered leeks) at the moment.

Here’s a poem for World Poetry Day (words in thread) about going on holiday in a caravan with your grandchildren. Badly misjudged the demographic of my audience at Sprout Spoken, Newquay but still managed to make them laugh. Trooper! #poetry #caravanholiday

New poem…I seem to be writing a lot about death these days. #poetry #death #justsleeping

THE BIG SLEEP "You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you were not bothered by things like that, oil and water were the same as wind and air to you. You just slept the big sleep, not caring about the nastiness of how you died or where you fell. Me, I was part of the nastiness now. Far…
