PALLID PORTSCATHO MORNINGS...

 Pallid Portscatho Mornings…



A lone sailing vessel lingers in Gerrans Bay,

Reflected in the weak greys

And pallid violets of the placid sea, 

Like ice.

A morning mist droops over distant Nare Head 

And holds its subtle sway 

Over the nearer Pednvadan’s scree,

Like a vice.

A sulky cream sky smothers Gull Rock,

Smudged by matte grey clouds and haze, 

As sunlight fails to break free

Like a sacrifice.


Yet the sullen mauves and pastel streaks

Of slate grey within such insolent cloud

Are suddenly torn asunder by a theatrical peek

Of sunlight to form a solar palette proud…
