About

The Whispers of Memory is the name of the two-man poetry collective comprising Gary Rhodes and Calvin Brooke. Part daily journal, part cathartic self-expression, the pair seek to chronicle their lives using the written word, from the fantastic to the mundane.

Manchester to Leeds, 3.15pm, October 19th

as rust coloured houses
squat as urns
blend into autumn's ochre foliage,
I Pass Through

this cleft of steel and stone
running fast twixt fold and ridge
less the clank and scream of years gone by,
carries me (The Visitor)
from red rose to white

Old Mills, Now Houses

the chill grey clouds settle high above the bricks.
Green Fields, supporting Grey Pylons, supporting Black Cables

Over canal and under bridge, we pass
(faces long seen but not remembered)
Out Of a Tunnel
We Stumble
Suddenly Amid these modern temples
of glass and grey

New Mills, Now Home
