Sealed In: Newlyn
Misted winter sunlight
Barely featured St Michael’s Mount
Between Newlyn’s protective arms,
From my vantage point:
A disused harbour elbow,
Its dereliction and overgrowth among its charms.
Grassy stone promontory,
No longer used for mooring
Near Newlyn’s landing stages,
From my vantage point:
An historic monument,
Its pride now weathered through the ages.
Surprised seal gaped,
Hardly in its habitat
In Newlyn harbour’s swell,
From my vantage point:
A fascinating appearance,
Its casualness casting its mesmerising spell.

A random seal poked its head out of the water in Newlyn harbour as I explored the sea-wall I had long admired. Finally I was able to walk the length of it. Unexpectedly.
