BOSHAM SUNSET: MY POEM FROM CLARE BOWEN'S PAINTING...

 Bosham Sunset

(from Clare Bowen’s painting…)



Small vessels moored idle

In tranquil waters, placid and wan,

Whilst attention is drawn

To trees and shrubs, which sidle,

Shaded by a setting sun,

Silhouetted, as if charred;

Myriad hues, reckless yet forlorn,

Descend in layers, scarred:

Lemon, bilberry and orange,

Reflecting in pallid tide, marred,

Upon tranquil Bosham to pour scorn…
