Round Tyne And Wear By Metro
A Terza Rima For The Metro Poetry Competition 2025

Introduction
This is for a competition that I saw while browsing for the Tyne and Wear Metro. You can enter it here if you are so inclined.
I've included "Fog On The Tyne" by Lindisfarne, because as far as I'm concerned, it's Newcastle's anthem.
Round Tyne And Wear By Metro
๐โ๏ธ๐ข๐๐ค๏ธ๐๐๐๐ค๏ธ๐๐ขโ๏ธ๐
From Newcastle Airport South To South Hilton
Or Saint James' Park To South Shields, Go East Young Man
Underground, Overground: Metro Running On
๐๐๐
By Earl Grey's Monument, My Last Trip Began
Through Central, Across Queen Elizabeth Bridge
Past Gateshead International Stadium
๐๐๐
Through Pelaw, Hebburn, Past The World Of Bede
To South Shields, Where This Line Ends, By The North Sea
Then Take The Ferry, Cross The Tyne(There's No Bridge!)
๐๐๐
From North Shields To Whitley Bay, Spanish City
Through Tynemouth (It's Very Posh) And Cullercoats
Then Turn West Back Toward Monument For Tea
๐๐๐
Then Change Your Line For The Newcastle Airport
Then Turn Back, Go All The Way To Sunderland
Further To South Hylton, Turn Again, Depart
๐๐๐
Back To Earl Grey's Monument, Always Looks Grand
Metro To Newcastle, 'Tis Our Chosen Land
