"A rainbow paints its mystic tones

On jagged teeth of ancient stone.."

A sweeping journey back to roots brought to life with great evocation. I could feel the lore running through the words. Glenlough sounds stunning.

on seal cubs asleep on pebbly coves..."

Wonderful images and lovely photos. As you know, I was in Pembrokeshire myself only recently. Your poem does the location justice, Rhiannon. Paul

The lead singer of The Cure has a lot to answer for. Evocative images conjured from your past, Jenny. We all do stuff we wish we hadn't...it's what makes us human :)

"The sea is vast.
Wave crests rush in,"

 

A scene set so evocatively and then the rest of the poem rolls in like a picturebook tide. Beautiful photo too. Lovely work, Rhiannon. Paul
