Athelstan - poem by David Pike

I'm just learning about this history. I enjoyed your poem a lot.

@whpriol1 Thank you. Malmesbury is a fascinating place. You may like to type the words, 'Hannah Twynnoy Malmesbury,' into google. She was killed by a savage animal in Malmesbury - part of history / folklore.

A great story, well versed. Brings to mind the proverb: 'When we have one eye on the past, and one on the future, we are blind in one eye. When we have both eyes on the future, we are blind in both eyes.'

Thank you for this. Malmesbury, a tiny Wiltshire town (where the association to Athelstan runs deep).
