FEBRUARY, CARNE BEACH... (My poem about Carne Beach, Cornwall on a winter day, 2011...)

 February, Carne Beach…

(Cornwall, February 2011…)

Measured tide darkens the waiting dull sand,

Reaching over itself,

Eager to be seen

But fading blue-green

And misting in drizzle’s swirl,

Clouding the Roseland…

Pockmarked outcrops blacken the stretching flat sand,

Baulking at tide,

Steadfast between streams,

Yet hideous in dreams.

And weathered by ocean’s lash,

Monstrous they stand…

Pete Ray

Carne Beach, near Veryan, Cornwall. 

A lonely and damp day, misty. 

Lovely…
