'TWISTED LIZARD': POEM ABOUT LIZARD POINT CORNWALL...

Twisted Lizard

The dull turquoise

Of a profound and bold sea

Ducked under a curtain 

Of mist;

Wrung, 

Wrested and

Wrenched

Out of the unknown,

Below.

The white topping

Of a reaching and dauntless sea

Reared over its depth

Of power;

Tossed,

Trounced and

Thrashed

Onto the rocks,

Below.

The sinuous tumult

Of a wild and unpredictable sea

Twisted onto its collisions

Of movement;

Stretched,

Strained and

Spiralled

Over the fusion,

Below…

Stormy weather at The Lizard as the wind whipped up very heavy seas.
