LIGHT SHOW ABOVE THE GRANITE WALL... (My new poem about Mousehole, 19th December 2024...)

 Light Show Above The Granite Wall…



A chill hung in the air, the sea was becalmed and then morning broke 

Beyond the parapet of the granite harbour wall, as Mousehole stirred.

A hesitant sun brushed a pale orange emulsion stroke,

Silhouetting a row of hung lanterns and an occasional soaring bird.


A cloud, like a dark foreboding forearm reached across the dawn,

Engulfing the sun’s weak amber and bursting black to charcoal grey,

Then dissipated, loosening a distant rain shower in its scorn,

Before a sharp breeze weakened its grip and ushered it ghosting away…
