Through wind and mist

Glistening sunlight upon the dew

Welcomes a winter morning

Crows skawking, cawing scavenge for scraps

While a murmuration of starlings

Far out over sand dunes

Put on a magic show for an audience of one

The golden sand today

Blackened from constant rainfall and stormy winds

Littered with debris

Washed in from sea and close by fields

Sea gulls duck and dive in search

Of tasty morsels

As the dog hurls himself at

Incoming white horses

Far off in the hazy distance, fishing boats

Making their way to the nearby port

Happy to off load their catch

Fishermen long to stretch their sea legs

So the story of this constitutional draws to a close

With cobwebs well and truly blown away

A poem might yet be composed.

Poetry from The Man Shed

  1. Quite mild here but quite windy and raining. But as I live in the city, my view isn’t nearly as beautiful and inspiring as yours.
