Bicycle

 

Idyllic cottage

where I learned to ride a bike

never forgotten.

Cornish skies

 

Cornish skies, deep blue.

Ocean reflected, absorbed;

waves of clouds breaking.

Body boarding

 

We four together

on a wave – mum, daughter, son.

dad; it’s a keeper!

Fishing

 

The happiest day

spending time together on

the rocks in the sun.

Memories of a café

 

The Penny Farthing

used to be here; tea and cakes

with my grandmother.

Queens’ flight

 

In their millions

reminiscent of ash spewed

from a volcano.

Fishing gone

 

Shops come and shops go

I’m sad it’s the tackle shop

where will I get bait?

Chapel Porth

 

Salt in my hair and

white salt ringlets on my skin;

Summer sea swimming.

Emerald

 

After so many

years together, it feels good

to honour their day.

Japanese Knotweed

 

Hostile alien

ornamental, unwelcome

in the native lands.
