GARDEN WILDLIFE, SOLIHULL, LATE FEBRUARY 2025... (Video clips now at my FB page, Peter Ray...)

 

TRAVEL BY RAIL TO PENZANCE... (My new poem about an advertising poster by SCENIC RAILWAYS for Mousehole, Cornwall...)

 Travel By Rail To Penzance…

(A railway advertisement for Mousehole, Cornwall...)

The best light. A sunrise. Dwellings lit by a tepid, welcoming 

Hue, as one’s gaze is drawn towards the mauves, pinks and yellows of a lusty sky.

A lowish tide reveals drift and damp, packed sand below rocks reflecting a myriad of colours,

Complementing the stark white of a foreground boat, beached and spry.

The distant view. A promise. Penzance, St Michael’s Mount, a tantalising

View, as one’s gaze is drawn across the bay towards an artist’s idyll.

The pastel tide sneaks forth, disguising the rusting chains, the thick wrack and the wild weathers,

Highlighting the lure, the beauty of a harbour, the heritage, the thrill…

Love these posters commissioned by rail companies, this one by Scenic Railways.

From Penzance, visitors could then travel the final 3 miles or so to Mousehole by taxi, or better still by bus…
