Boreham Wood

poetry
Boreham Wood, where quiet streets entwine
With rows of terraced homes in sober brick,
And evening light slips soft through leaf‑lined line,
A modest pulse that beats both quick and thick.
The local pitch awakes on Saturday’s cheer,
Shouts rise like hymns from fans in scarlet scarves,
While commuters drift beneath the amber sphere,
Their thoughts alighting on the day they’ve earned.
Here history murmurs in each garden hedge,
A humble charm that holds the north‑west’s edge.
