'STORM CLOUDS LEPE': FROM JENNIFER DENNIS' PAINTING OF LEPE, HAMPSHIRE...

 Storm Clouds Lepe…

(from Jennifer Dennis’ painting…)



Hurled clouds of grey and dun-stain

Rush across an acrid sky;

Whirled, rising silhouetted gulls strain,

Hushed across the grim seascape awry…


Swirled wisps of white water lift,

Crushed upon rocks in disarray;

Curled waves across a bleak shoreline drift,

Pushed on by fuming gales astray…


Unfurled squalls of alabaster fall,

Lush upon a heedless ocean;

Twirled surf spirals at storm’s frantic call,

Flushed and thrown by the raging commotion…

I’ve never visited Lepe in Hampshire, near Southampton but the dramatic painting by Jennifer Dennis has captured a fine moment…
