Winter at Ettalong

 

After the storm - Cloud fragments in a sky The colour of cornflowers, Pale sunlight skims the water, Breezes dry the atmosphere And ring bells on the boats That have sheltered in the bay. Where tides have rippled the sand Seagulls dip for morsels. People and pets come out of hiding To gaze on an indigo sea, And plants, rinsed by the rain, Spread their leaves and breathe In the freshly-laundered air. 2005 Copyright (c) Jill Nevile, Ettalong
