POETRY CORNER
Welcome once again to Poetry Corner. The Roundabout is looking for submissions of poems of no more than 30 lines from all
and every resident of Buckden. We would especially like the school children to participate. So get writing those masterpieces
and send them to the Editor. This month, Ken Bushell has written the poem ‘Buckden’.
Village of contrasts
Quiet bridle paths
A1 Roundabout Maelstrom
Pretty thatched cottages
Stately Georgian and Victorian homes
Modern estate dwellings
Narrow streets built over footpaths
And cart tracks of yesteryear
St. Mary’s, Buckden Towers
Historic church and buildings with royal connections
The Lion, The Vine, The George
Hostelries all at sometime
City folk, business people, entrepreneurs
Money no object
Young families, almshouse pensioners
Striving to make ends meet
Farms, shops, small businesses
Family living close by
Love living in Buckden
A fitting place to spend your ‘Golden Years’.
