WALKABOUTSVERSE 178 OF 230

Poem 178 of 230:  UPON ARMSTRONG BRIDGE - AUTUMN 2001

Upon Armstrong Bridge,
    Above Jesmond Dene
(River and ridge,
    Surrounded by green),
I bought a framed print
    By a local man -
Sharpening my flat’s hint
    Of the Angel’s span.

(C) David Franks 2003

Armstrong Bridge, Jesmond Dene; spring 14

Now held in my Manchester flat (27/4/21),
a print of the Angel of the North (23/11/10)

The Angel of the North - just below a bird,
from ex-flat in Cruddas Park; 27/11/2010
