FOSSIL VESSEL AT PORTSCATHO...

 Fossil Vessel At Portscatho…



The lines of strata lay bereft

Like a fossilised ship wrecked

Upon a weed strewn shore.

The fallen rock was weather worn

Like a hull cruelly torn

Asunder by a persistent storm's furore.

Scored like vessel’s strakes,

The hulk listed awry:

A damaged cliff or maybe a prehistoric boat  

Once afloat and spry,

Heckled by an ocean’s vicious roar…

A strange leaning outcrop on the shoreline at Portscatho, which made me think of a fictional, fossilised boat of some kind…
