Lakenham Bridge Poem by Roy Ballard

Lakenham Bridge



It's a fair drop below and the water is slow
where Lakenham bridges pass over the streams
of the Yare and the Tas; where a fisherboy dreams
of the great fish that go in the deep, lazy flow.
The bricks are hard blue for the railway runs through
so they lie fair and square in a permanent mortar.
There is hope in the air and a float on the water.
