Wales v England Prematch Poem

[@rhydderchroberts62]

This is brilliant! it sends shivers down my spine. It was written by one of the leading contemporary Welsh Poets, Paul Henry, and it first appeared a few years ago in a collection of his poetry called "The Brittle Sea" - highly recommended. Paul Henry articulates exactly what it means and feels to be Welsh.

What an awsome poem! It puts the hairs up on my back.....

[@yuantingnan2784]

Steel I felled a tree with my bare hands. I ran through a forest. I sifted its branches for gold. No border guard could hold me. Soon, my country you will be rich. Your rivers run through my veins. Your tides and mountains swell in my chest. Your birds of prey are my arms and legs in flight. I have fifteen hearts. Inside this steel frame the wheels of your valleys turn again, spin and catch the sun. I am steel in flight, unstoppable � a dragon with fifteen hearts. ....
