On The Coast

 

 

Monday 10 March

 

Waves crash up the beach,

Kids dash out of reach, waves and

Kids drift back. Repeat.

 

Tuesday 11 March

 

Gulls cry high notes to

Steady chugs from fishing boats

As a seal drifts by.

 

Wednesday 12 March

 

Wild sea, harbour wall,

One huge wave soars high and falls

Crashing to concrete.

 

Thursday 13 March

 

Herons play statues

For hours and stare. They’re still there.

Digesting it all.

 

Friday 14 March

 

Wires pinging, singing

Shrill notes from tied up boats in

Windswept marinas.
