BUILDING BLOCKS... (My poem about a squall over Mousehole, December 2009...)

 Building Blocks…



Bloated blocks of black cloud

Brick up the dawn’s shroud

And daybreak’s chaotic loud

Squeals and squalls 

Of rain and gulls

 And the Mount’s Bay morning stalls,

Yet somehow enchants… 


Over grim rippling grey

Specked with vessels astray,

Mousehole’s new December day

Under sky’s jigsaw dawning, 

Inflates its barrage, its awning,

Its inhospitable warning

And rather enchants…
