Seasalter’s Groynes
(from Sue King’s painting, ‘Seasalter Beach Sunset’)
Groynes, startled by the luring eye
Within a Kent sunset, stand to,
Resilient to tides but seemingly
And perhaps reluctantly
Mesmerised by the kaleidoscopic myriad
Lurid reds, ambers, greys and creams
Of a burning evening sky.
As shallows lap at them, they audibly sigh
In awe of the sunset and then as silhouettes they accrue
An unique majesty: rather crudely
Weathered, ageing stalwarts, if slightly awry,
Of shipwrecks, storms and fearful dreams,
Which haunt from within the inferno’s hypnotic eye…
