MARAZION THREATENED... (My poem about Marazion, Cornwall, in strange light, October 2010...)

 Marazion Threatened…



Clones of visitors

Spilled from a white vessel

Onto damp, compacted sand,

For tide in a hurry

Reached across causeway

To prohibit a pedestrian retreat.


Hordes of clouds

Darkened from the black west

Over dull, faded headland,

As sunlight in a flurry,

Strained through bondage

To blend lilac with cream heat.


Swathes of illumination

Daubed from sun’s palette

Across dim, insignificant land,

Like gold in a slurry,

Glimmered as ingots

To afford dismal weather a treat…


Pete Ray





Marazion, near dusk, October 2010… 



Black cloud lumbers from the west, leaving an array of interesting colours.


Cornwall...
