SEA DEFENCES: A POEM ABOUT WEYBOURNE'S BEACH IN NORFOLK...

Sea Defences

An olive green and gun metal grey,

Insidious North Sea tide

Raked at chunks of pebbles,

Which hissed dissent

At being dragged and rent

From Weybourne’s sea defences

Of undulating loose walls of stones,

Built to preclude any infiltration,

Or predatory maritime ascent…

Reminded me of Dorset’s Maiden Castle, once an Iron Age hill fort, which undulates too, whereby once one has climbed one grassy slope, it descends into a dip, from whence a higher climb begins, etc.
