Blakeney Point
The sky leaden and grey.
On this stormy day.
An ice-cold wind blows that to any living soul would chill to the bones.
White crest upon the waves as they break,
That sound like thunder.
Sand dunes stretch across the isthmus and
muddy channels cut through with a mere trickle of water.
Boats lay moored, waiting upon the tide,
A few abandoned rotting away,
once a fisherman’s pride,
waiting to be consumed by the sea with each rising tide.
seals and gulls scatter far and wide across the dunes.
A place almost foreboding on such a winters day,
yet tranquil, it is nature at its most pure.
To be left as it was found.

"The reiteration of the opening lines is a device that works well with this poem. I like the brief nature of it. It comes and goes like those early and dear memories which is also a device that works well for me. Your la…" -
