PORTHTOWAN STONE SEAL: A NEW POEM...

Porthtowan Stone Seal 




It was as if a basking seal
Had been petrified
By the emergence of Medusa
From the Atlantic’s spewed surf
And turned to stone,
Stratified…

And there it sprawled, real,
Yet unreal, lapidified;
A guardian of Porthtowan
‘Gainst the sea’s hideous tides
And aloof in stone,
Mortified…

Pete Ray
