1000 Dreams

1000 poems

 

Ghostly walks and great reviews.

The author, historian, market trader.

And, provider of old tales.

Empty cells that featured,

on that programme on TV.

When you're thirsty in the

Heritage rooms - he's

sometimes making tea.

Blue Peter girl of yesteryear,

a very loyal friend.

Shivers down the viewers' spine,

they very much intend;

Entering your living space;

a grizzly tale to share...

From a damsel in a locked-up room

To ancestral dancing bear.

All hail, Richard Felix.

You are Derby through and through.

The dreams your team deliver

mean a test.

Will they scare me -

from my usual nightly rest?

Son of Derby, I have just confessed.

A city through your input; Manifests.
