My Quercine legend,
you see centuries changing
I grow old in one.

Nearly 20 years on from my #PlanetsSuite of poems about our solar system, this seems somewhat apposite for today's prompt word.

It seems apposite to include a poem from my recent book published by @jamjarpublishing which features their word of the day #Greenwood, albeit in two halves.

Here is the issue,
so, real or faked history
funny or just fact,
the challenges of the past
fiction or reality.

A thing of beauty
transporting me ro the past
with each piston stroke

Not used for transport
most powerful steam engine
working in Britain,
you can only look with awe
at this gorgeous behemoth.
