Life by the waves

 

Life by the waves

By Robert Kingston  

By Hemsby Marrams I was taken aback

For this unique settlement had suffered a whack

The raging North Sea had raised up its might

Where once stood homes reside pockets of light

 

Way down beneath, awash on the shore

Remnants of belongings, folk chose to store

Mingled with sand, mingled with brush

For some by the sea life had suffered a crush

  1. Sounds like a tragedy; not a poetic one... But, I would like to know more?

  2. Yes, coastal erosion, Global Warming, almost certainly. Unfortunately our whole coastline is under attack and so many dwellings in peril. Frightening !!! "The Kraken Wakes" a fantasy?
