"matthews" poems - Hello Poetry

So, up to Liverpool, pretty cool, I've got family there, and I'm trying to find my bearings. When I was a kid I went with my Auntie to the Adelphi Hotel, I remember it well, so that's where I'll start, move my feet, it's a quick walk to Bold Street. Everyone flocks to the Albert Docks, regenerated, updated, and has created a vibrant corner of a once-thriving port city, which is pleasing, the only downside is it's ****** freezing! The nights out are decent too, this where Liverpool really pulls through. Matthews Street, can't be beat, or Concert Square, where, you head to Baa Bar for some shots and a few jars. Then onto Nation with the rest of Liverpool's student population, going down to Wolstenholme Square, great memories, shame it's no longer there. Capital of Culture, lots to explore, the council wants to restore the city centre, Liverpool One is second to none. New shops to buy our Fred Perry tops, new bars to entertain us, new places to wear our smart Adidas trainers. A modern shopping centre to walk through, have they really called it Everton Two? Girls off to the supermarket with their hair up in rollers and wearing their PJ's, funny looks on the face of people who are new to the place. Lads in black Lacoste trackies, in the 1980s they came back from the continent after European success, wearing Fila and Ellesse, it was called casual, the style went national. A city of myths legends, some more tongue in cheek but still unique. A sock robber from Kirkby, is it the original Cavern Club? Well, to a degree. What about Carragher's tattoo? He's blue born and bred, is Paul McCartney actually dead? I know it's a clichè, but I must say, it isn't a mere rumour, there is undoubtedly a Scouse sense of humour, wordplay and the inflexion on the things they say. A witty city that's for sure, come and visit, you'll have everything you need and more.

Liverpool

So, up to Liverpool, pretty cool, I've got family there, and I'm trying to find my bearings.
