Saundersfoot poet Helene McKenna shares Forgotten Sounds

A POEM by Helene McKenna, Saundersfoot:

The sharp crack of fireside wood

Burning bright then dying dull,

The ice cream van's resounding bell

Metal bins being emptied well,

A dray horse stomps along cobbled streets

The bus conductor’s clicking ticket machine,

The Boys’ Brigade blow cornets on Sunday

A rattling tram crosses lines on Monday,

The steam train whistle howls loud and shrill

A bike's squeaky wheels proceeding uphill,

All gone now, but from elusive memory

I think of these past sounds in a reverie.
