STAGE LIGHTING... (My poem about the sky over Mounts Bay, Cornwall, December 2018...)

 Stage Lighting…

(Mousehole, December 2018…)



In the limelight, the isle sparkled

Like a floodlit theatrical stage,

Upon which Mousehole’s story would imminently unfold.

A chorus of gleaming, shrieking gulls

And dreaming, flaunting cormorants

Awaited the curious tale to be told.

A sea of harsh blue, grey and turquoise cold

Formed a stormy backdrop to the featured gold... 


And a rainbow exited from stage left,

Arcing the restless hues of Mount’s Bay,

Bending towards somewhere east of Marazion,

And anchored by a vibrant pillar some miles away... 



Pete Ray…





The sun highlighting St Clement’s Island off Mousehole, reminding me of a stage in a theatre.


The rainbow simply set the whole scene…
