OLD EARLSWOOD: A NEW POEM... 'RESERVOIR HOTEL, EARLSWOOD'...

Reservoir Hotel, Earlswood…

Lanes stripped of tarmac
And their broken white lines;
No limiting junctions
Or lollipop shaped signs…

Inn stripped of adverts
And its bland lack of charm:
Merely a functional hostelry,
Near a neighbourhood farm…

Earlswood stripped of vehicles
And pollution and noise:
Horses, carts and simplicity
Mourn its past rural poise…

Remarkable image of the Reservoir Hotel, carts, a bicycle and a total absence of traffic, houses and scurrying people.
