Frozen stretch of Monmouthshire and Brecon canal, Dardy, Powys 2018
Brecon town is far and away
And much too far for me
And Newport city is not so pretty
Although it’s near the sea.
But as I’d like to see the sea
The next best thing would be
The waters of the Mon and Brec
That glide ‘neath sky and tree.
I dream a dream of days I’ll glimpse
The ocean wide and free
As I go along the Mon and Brec
From Brecon to the sea.
Though Brecon town is far away
And Newport dank and grey,
I pray that soon I’ll go that way.
I will, I’m sure, one day.
The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal is affectionately known as the Mon and Brec
An exercise for a creative writing class on composing poetry, in this case in ballad form
