Ffarwél unwaith eto HCJ!

Dwi'n gwybod fy mod yn gyndyn iawn i sôn am fy ngwaith ar y blog. Ond heddiw fe gawsom de yn y prynhawn i ffarwelio â HCJ unwaith ac am byth wrth iddo ymddeol ar ôl 39 mlynedd yn y gwaith. Fe fues i yn ei ginio ffarwél ddechrau'r mis. Yn y cyfarfod fe wnaeth nifer o wahanol feirdd ddarllen eu gwaith - yn eu plith Dogfael. Fel y gŵyr rhai pobl dwi'n fardd sydd yn methu barddoni yn Gymraeg, ond gydag iaith arall sbâr dwi wedi dod o hyd i fy llais yn Saesneg. Dyma'r gerdd wnes i ei hysgrifennu ar gyfer yr achlysur. Efallai y dylwn ychwanegu er mwyn ichi fedru gwerthfawrogi'r gerdd yn iawn fod HCJ yn dod o Ddyffryn Ceiriog yn wreiddiol. Fe allwch fy nghlywed yn ei darllen ar y blog llafar.

Ceiriog! : an ode in praise of cherries written on the retirement of HCJ

Ceiriog! That means 'Cherries',
or so I once was told..
I have believed that to be fact
from those days of old.

So let us celebrate the Cherry:
morrello, lambert, bing;
of its red skin and juciy flesh
the poet can but sing.

Cherries are like people,
not that they're round and red,
but that they come in two varities –
some are sweet, some are sour instead.

That's what we're like as people,
we're like Cherries in the pod;
one might be happy and jolly,
the other, a cantancerous sod.

Cherry stone thermal pillows
are very good, or so I've hear tell,
for the younger or older person
who doesn't feel very well.

Some Cherries ripen early;
some Cherries ripen late;
some Cherries are nice at any time,
and Huw, you're in that state.

Let us all now then hail the Cherry,
the greatest fruit upon this earth;
let us also hail the Cherry Valley,
which gave to Huw his birth.

Hail Huw from Cherry Valley
whence the Cherry River runs;
may you remain for long in its cherry orchards
to see the setting of many suns.

All hail the Cherry!
