Gold cherry

The sun is probing

morning’s

shabby looking grey-mist

 

a movement of

sunshine emerges here & there

provides enough colour

 

brings gladness

to the scene

highlights sea-gull activity

on busy shorelines

 

where massive walls of

roiling water

shudder noisily

against salty beaches.

I found the sensory simplicity of this hopeful and very pleasing. It's our Pick of the Day. Do share on Facebook and Twitter.

"Pick of the day" a real thrill & very humbling. Thank you for the honour ABC team members. My faltering laptop still can't access Facebook &Twitter to share poem. However I am very happy to still thoroughly enjoy writing my story-poems at age 81.

Yes, very evocative and drawing to the bright light penetrating through the dull mist. Rhiannon

Thank you so much for very kind comments. I follow what i read many years ago -- There is nothing new under the sun only new ways to say the same thing. Try it.

I could see those gulls and massive walls of rolling water. Such a visual, evocative poem. Just lovely, Richard. I hope you are keeping well. Paul

A worthy double cherry Richard. I'm all for direct simplicity - show not tell, which here puts me just there on the shoreline.
