Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Llanwddyn


Llanwddyn, Wales, first village be

In early 1880's sank,

As a reservoir completely

Submerged the village under tank,

Cuz English city, Liverpool

Needed more fresh water and so

The English Parliament did rule

Llanwddyn village had to go

To a new village which was built

Below the dam some miles away.

Liverpool city felt no guilt.

Llanwddyn village had no say.


Llanwddyn old, Llanwddyn new,

Townspeople moved - what else to do!
