About Beryl Edmonds

My interest and love of poetry began at school, when I was fourteen years of age. The class were given the project of writing an anthology of verse, using our own poetry and designing the cover for our book.
I really enjoyed the project and still have the book I made.
Poetry has remained a lifelong hobby, I enjoy reading and writing poems to this very day.

As poets we may not have a stake
in the Hall of Fame
Or not even Poet Laureate
put beside our name
But there's one thing tho' all poets know
that is for certain
Poetry's in the blood since life begun
till close of curtain.

    The world must become a much better place
    Where more people dwell with a smile on their face
    Living together in kinship and peace
    A world full of hope where joys never cease.

    It's time to embrace every culture,
    One flock, one shepherd, one fold
    Whatever our race, hue or faith
    We're all made from the same mould.

    Teachers proudly stand in front of the class
    With knowledge and influence en masse,
    Igniting a flame in curious minds
    Proficiently as the lessons unwind.

    God will paint rainbows in the sky
    Once again for the world and I.

Dear Dinah,
I can't thank you enough. Your kind words have touched my heart. It's so nice to know the poets are being heard and read all over the world, that people like you are inspired by what you read. Life must have been difficult for you Dinah, yet you carry on regardless and have great faith; it shines from you. I am so pleased to have played a part, though small, in making your life a little brighter.
God bless you always, Beryl x

A beautiful tribute poem to your late wife Ann, brother John...

Then years is a very long time to journey all alone
When the love of your life's at rest in God's heavenly home
Familiar things bring memories of all you used to share
May they keep you going until you meet again up there.

An beautiful poem, brother John. Without our memory, what'd we do...

There's perfection in reflection
A glorious comeback
Where everything is beautiful
In memories of the past.
