A collection of poems and thoughts about the beauty of the county of Cornwall
Wild And Free Intelligent eyes and serious faces Trapped in inappropriate places Caged by humans, treated like toys Taking their freedom, killing their joy Breaking their spirit, day by day Keeping them captive is not the way These creatures need to run free and wild Not trapped and treated like a substitute child No space […]
A beginning… I walk beneath a sketchbook sky Crosshatched clouds way up high Slivers of sunlight brush my face Breaking through the cloudy haze A carpet of the softest green Before me, the most breathtaking scene A place I’d happily spend many hours Walking out on the beautiful moors Cool running streams clear as glass […]
Softly falling On my face A walk in the rain In a beautiful place Leaves are shimmering All around Little puddles like mirrors Shine on the ground The misty hills A stunning view The sky a tapestry Of greys and blue Everyone is hiding From the rain I’m soaked right through But can’t complain It’s […]

Striking sunset Reflected on the sand Down on the beach Holding your hand The sky is alive Against the sea so blue A perfect evening To share with you We slowly walk In the cool evening air Enjoying the colours The sinking suns glare The sand is a riot Of colour blazing bright As the […]
Down that slope to where the tall ships rest Masts reaching up to the sky The little pier, the stony shore Truly a feast for the eyes Walk down further to those ships And take in the stunning view A lovely place to sit a while Looking out over water blue Gentle waves caress the […]
Within your walls I seek shelter Through your window I seek light A place of sanctuary, safe and warm When times are dark as night The suns warm light comes trickling in Colours fill the space Reds and blues, all kinds of hues It becomes a magical place The stone walls come alive with colour […]
