PORTH CHAPEL SEA BAT: A POEM ABOUT CORNWALL...

Porth Chapel Sea-Bat


White sea-bat rises menacingly;
Wings threatening,
Lifting
And towering
Over retreating surf,
Spewing weed and maritime driftwood,
Like chaff thrown into the wind.

Foaming predator swoops hungrily;
Wingspan massive,
Oppressive,
Aggressive
On passive prey,
Devouring effluent and human flotsam,
Like invaders purge, undisciplined…

Pete Ray


Fantastic, wing-like creature powered a butterfly-type stroke to slash onto Porth Chapel beach, West Cornwall.
