GoatboyHorror: Wilfrid Wilson Gibson, Mad (1914)
Neck-deep in mud,
He mowed and raved -
He who had braved The field of blood -
And as a lad
Just out of school
Yelled - April Fool!
And laughed like mad.

That hurtle overhead
And dainty dancing demoiselles -
Above the dreamless dead.

devnair67: The Lonely Tree by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson
"Men talk of forests broad and deep
Where summer-long the shadows sleep.
Though I love forests deep and wide,
The lone tree on the bare hillside,
The brave wind-bitten lonely tree
Is rooted in the heart of me "

RicoPundrich: Lyrics : Back
By: Wilfrid Wilson Gibson
They ask me where I’ve been,
And what I’ve done and seen.
But what can I reply
Who know it wasn’t I,
But someone, just like me,
Who went across the sea
Elizabethyha: At school in Duffield in the early 1960s one of my favourite poems was The Ice Cart by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson. Little did I know that years later I would work on Battle Hill in Hexham, just down the hill from his birthplace. Still a day-dreamer.

NikkiJB66: So excited to have a copy of ‘The Lamplighters’ by Emma Stonex!
Inspired by the real-life disappearance of 3 men from a lighthouse in 1900 (& the poem Flannon Isle by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson), this fictional story is out on 4th March. My advice? Pre-order it NOW. it’s brilliant!!
JohnCooper633: We covered the poem Flannan Isle by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson in P6...
Bloody terrified me!
muffnbear: A bird among the rain-wet lilac sings --
But we, how shall we turn to little things
And listen to the birds and winds and streams
Made holy by their dreams,
Nor feel the heart-break in the heart of things?"
- Wilfrid Wilson Gibson (1878 - 1962)

And dusty smother of the August heat..."

reescb: The brave wind-bitten lonely tree
Is rooted in the heart of me —
A twisted ash, a ragged fir,
A silver birch with leaves astir.
