Re; local poem Competition
The A215 tutor advised using a strict poetic measure. So - I used the Shakesperian sonnet form and added eight lines. The rhyming couplet at the end of lines thirteen and fourteen makes a pleasing variation I hope. Otherwise the poem is trad. with homely imagery. I did not want to annoy the reader with vulgarity or bore them with introverted agonies.

First three lines as follows;
Of flint and stone the Chapel of Ease
with doorway defined in the booklet
as gothic, is shaded with chestnut trees.
