TO BE FREE: A SERPENT LEANS AT WELLS-NEXT-THE-SEA...

 To Be Free…



An abominable serpent,

A hulk of sodden wood

Leaned out into a channel,

A rivulet rampant

Next-the-sea…


And it shook its vile head

Of stinking seaweed dread

In a pitiable demonstration,

As it struggled and wrestled to be free

And escape the shackles of a captive estuary…
