My stories

Lighthouse

Warning to the way of seafarers Not to tread in the style of the rocks, Wisdom shining from its headland To light the path of the righteous, The ungodly, the stained and the callous

Salt Fields

Yellow-burning haymakers Stretch to the sea with lazy fingers, Combine harvesters chugging, The first day of autumn Burning the paint on their engines,

What An Island Knows

Low tide murmurs as a bass voice receding, Revealing the survivors in its wake, A broken box of fish from the harbour mouth, Seaweed limp and passive on the rocks,

Where Stern Follows Prow

By the church, fragments of psalms Catch the air, too late to save Remains of the humble fishing boat. Upturned as the boats of Boanerges, Sons of thunder to calm the water,

Little Vennel

Short lane, leading Shorewards to the sea, The grinding breakers of the Firth, The world the town touches, Source of timbered incoming heaving to.
