MiSkriBa 2024 - 16 / 04 - Ow mires orth alsyow Fer Kulyek, a bell.

#MiskriBa re worras an prompt a skrifa bardhonek a dheskrif pyth po le, mes a worfenn gans linen dybella a hevel kepar ha ny dhesedh gen an pyth po le, mes yn hwir y tesedh. Rag hemma, my re dybis a'm tasgwynn, a verwis nans yw nebes 23 bledhen ha my flogh, ha'n tyller mayth ethen yn fenowgh... Yth omwovynnav mar kyllowgh hwi gweles pandr'a wrug vy yn tyffrans orth skrifa an bardhonek ma?

#NapoWriMo write a poem in which you closely describe an object or place, and then end with a much more abstract line that doesn’t seemingly have anything to do with that object or place, but which, of course, really does. For this, I thought about my grandad, who died about 23 years ago when I was a child, and the place we'd often go... I wonder if you can see what I've done differently when writing this poem?

Ow mires orth alsyow Fer Kulyek, a bell.

An mergh a grash y’m diwskovarn

Dell borthav dydhyow Sul dehen rew

Hwarthow glaswyn a dardh

A skevens flogh a wev piben-son

Ha’y vamm a bon dhe

A ankev hi,

Mes a welyn. 

War-nans an karrygi y lamm reunyon loos

A-dreus dhe groustys bilien grennhes

Ha luyow moryon a geskerdh a’n goswik gommon

Dhe enep an als,

Ow kildenna a vortid yeyn an dohajydh.

Hag y mirav orthys,

Koloven ow yowynkneth,

Bys vykken owth esedha yn neyth gwelen,

Kurun lien a losk selsik glow koos

Ha tesennow leun tewes

Y plegyn agan bewnansow,

Dhe rosya’n fordh dhown-wiskys

Yn minhwarth lehus, gorrys yn men.

Tonnow a lap orth agan seudhelyow

Ow plasa agan viaj a-varr y’n gorthugher,

Hag unweyth finek y treylyn

Owth ygeri yn ledan

Y kollav dha syns.

Lemmyn y hwariav Fallout.


Looking at Hannafore cliffs, from afar.

The crashing horses in my ears

Scream a circus of delight

As I endure ice cream Sundays

And sunburn sleeps

In the hazy weeks of time together.

Sky blue laughter erupts

From the lungs of a sound-pipe wielding child

And their mother runs to

Snap this moment

Into a nimbostratus scrapbook

That she forgets,

But we see.

Down the rocks the grey seals leap

Over rounded pebble picnics

As armies of ants march from the seaweed forest

To the cliffe face,

Retreating from the cool afternoon tide.

Peace cascades from bellowing brows

And I look at you,

The pillar of my youth,

Forever sat in a wicker nest,

A kerchief crown burning charcoal sausages

And sand filled cakes

That we all eat

And say how much the grit adds taste

Like the secret ingredient from ocean's depths;

Togetherness.

Hometime beckons, 

We fold our lives,

Pack our baggage

To hike the road worn deep

In a dwindling smile, set in stone.

Waves lap at our heels

Tasting our early evening journey,

And one last time we turn

To watch horizon's grave

Open wide

To gulp the day.

In the shaded green fields of advancing dusk

I lose your grip.

Now I'm playing Fallout.

Yn brin iawn dwi'n ysgrifennu barddoniaeth yn Gymraeg, dim fel mod i ddim am ddefnyddio iaith y nefoedd at y diben hwn, ond fel arfer dwi'n ysgrifennu yn yr iaith sy'n dod ata i yn y funud o ysbrydoliaeth. A dyna ddigwyddodd efo'r gerdd hon a ysgrifennes i yn dilyn digwyddiad ym Malchder Cymru y llynedd.

Back in February of this year, I recieved a monolingual Welsh leaflet in my letter box from SP Energy Networks outlining plans for rolling powercuts in response to the 'energy crisis'. Afterwards I searched the news ans waited to hear anything more about this, however there came neither news nor power cuts. This poem is my response to the whole situation and my feelings at that time.
