THE STEGOSAURUS, THE SPHINX & THE HARSH-FACED HARE... (My poem about rock formations between Porthgwarra & Gwennap Head, Cornwall...)

 The Stegosaurus, The Sphinx & The Harsh-Faced Hare…



Like giant sculptures

From individual granite blocks,

They reflected time,

Despite the weathering,

Pale gold against the ocean’s restless blue:

The Stegosaurus, The Sphinx and The Harsh-Faced Hare…


Like iconic colossi

In carved granite rock,

They defeated time,

Their resolve unwavering,

Each story untold, fictitious or true:

The Stegosaurus, The Sphinx and the Harsh-Faced Hare… 


Yet folks walk the coast path and ignore what lies there:

The Stegosaurus, The Sphinx and the Harsh-Faced Hare…



Pete Ray



Granite rock formations on the Cornish coast path between Porthgwarra and Gwennap Head…


They seemed to signal the passing of time between 

the prehistoric, the ancient and recent times…
