Wales of your imagination

What is it but a place?

Showered by stereotypes & images of film

Like a photoshop preset painting the hills

A crisp wash over the cobblestones

A bright dreary cloud over the scene.

Now, you might be thinking Eddie Redmayne

But I am more talking about that Pride and Prejudice remake-with Kiera Knightly

A place where heroes go on quests

Over mountain ranges of linearly plastered cottages

But not those blank mountains of rock

No, no these are littered with green & decorated with stone.

High trails between castles & an accent

with such high viscosity it’s a mixture of southern & Irish deep

& you might be hearing sheep

But I’m listening to the opening notes of Hiccup by Verzache

[for those of you who don’t know *plays* THAT is what Wales sounds like]

THAT is what Wales is like.
