Proverbs

Hello Poetry Lovers

So the As I was going to St Ives riddle sparked off memories for me of other traditional pieces one has grown up with. My favourite being East West, Home’s best.

I have written a triolet on this profound statement. I have put it as Home is best to make the line longer, although I think some versions do have the is in there.

East West, Home is Best

East West, home is best

My four walls and a cat 

In home ground I did invest

East West, home is best 

The outside world is of interest

But I’ve heard it’s not all that!

East West, home is best

My four walls and a cat

And there are many other proverbs, but here is two I like best. I’ve simply illustrated them. No more triolets in this part..

People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Not for all the tea in China.

So, Poetry Lovers, let me know your favourite proverb on a postcard to the usual address.

Thanks for tuning in, PL’s. We’ll be back real soon….
