Daily Poem
My Liverpool
My favourite place is Liverpool, it is the best place around,
No matter where your from, whichever village or town,
Im sure you will agree, Its the place to be,
Were people are happy, fun and free,
Were all laid back and down to the ground,
Youll meet many a person, whos very sound,
Theres many a person wholl give a helping hand,
The best music comes from the Liverpool bands,
Radio city is the best station by far,
And we have the best pubs, clubs and even bars
At the end of the day its the best place to be,
Just come to Liverpool and then you will see
Jonathan Davies
Future Plans
This website will be maintained to keep all the 800 poems free to read, but this is not the end. We intend to publish the poems and due to the success of the project, we will be announcing another venture shortly...watch this space.
