The Magic Lantern Cinema

Once a row of tumbledown cottages
Then an assembly rooms did stand
There since 1893
Until ofcourse they planned
To open a small cinema
In 1930 they
Created one to serve the town
Of Tywyn along the way

With its SONY 4K digital
With Dolby surround sound
Wide spaces in between the rows
And food served, as I found
It’s quaint and very special
Showing films to day
Standing back in Corbet Square, me thinks
For those who are aware

It’s a very attractive frontage
A bold red, none can miss
Inside the friendly staff to serve
Adding to the bliss
One feels of such a venue
Above a host of electric bulbs
A truly eclectic place
Wistfully returning souls
Through time’s soft embrace

Drove out from Dolgellau
On the coastal road
Following the Estuary
Clearly It did bode
Well for a really a nice day out
A film and coming back
The sky lit up with sunlight a glorious
Hanging o’re the sea
A heavenly picture painted
For the onward bound to be
And To marvel at its beauty
It’s miraculous display
The Welsh are very fortunate
As was I today

My friends were Ann and Peter
Caring souls they be
They kind of took me under their wing
As a constancy
Sharing their fine temperament
Helping in every way
To give me a really special journey
And an exciting day

The film was about Shakespeare
1564 he was born
His lady wife
Some eight years before
Two children one sadly who died
The story of their lives
She the daughter of a forest witch
And we know his work survives

Poets and playwrights
Layer ideas
Scribe all their hours
Amidst their own tears
So much emotion conjured expressing
Much of their life
And sadly confessing
Wild adaptations tragic events
That really test time
Though in essence make sense

I be a poet
I scribe every day
I use a blog
For that’s a fine way
Of getting the thoughts out
And sharing a life
Which today saw such beauty
