John thanks. I always feel there is poetry and there is meaningful poetry. I hope mine is the latter.
Pat, thanks and glad you like it. It's very metaphorical. It's very deep. That too. So it stands alone as a verse, an observation, but it delves into the present day manipulation of our thought processes too. And dare I say our freedoms, which our parents and grandparents struggled to obtain and which today are lightly tossed aside. Eroded, if you will.
I do believe I am becoming a convert to poetry.. you paint another picture Gwil
ReplyDeleteLovely image of peace ad tranquility - much needed with present world events.

Pat, you often say my work is too deep, and maybe it is sometimes, but I believe, really believe, we are abandoning our hard worn values very lightly.
ReplyDeletesounds like the disappearing east coast of england
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gerald and thought it the other day when I read it. I wondered if you wrote it after your coastal walk in this area?
ReplyDeleteYou are both right Rachel and Gerald. I was again imagining the ruined abbey at Whitby, photo on a previous post, I saw on my coastal walk.
