WILD WESTON... (My new poem about Weston-super-Mare, Somerset...)

 Wild Weston…



A North Somerset breeze dragged clouds of deep

Blue ink to hover across the spacious low tide beach

At Weston. Harassed sunlight raised its gleaming whiteness

As if to breathe, then spilled its pallid glint, where it could reach…


A pair of flag buoys, exposed like saplings in no-man’s land, cower

And from the grim hastening storm squeeze beams of light,

Whilst the black town huddles, as if marooned on ice,

Steeling itself to shun the impending, maritime blight…


Pete Ray…

I was lucky enough to take these photographs at 

Weston-super-Mare in January 2012…




Images to take the mind off the huge stretches of mud and sand…
