The tide is now far out of reach, of the beach,
And so there are miles of sand, a sight so grand,
A lighthouse takes a stand, long time unmanned,
While seagulls veer and fly inland, up the strand.

Some skillfull ryming at work here Ernestine. As usual with you, none of it seems forced and there is a real naturalness to the flow of this poem.

Such a peaceful poem, Ernestine, set in one of our most beautiful resorts. With the sun shining into my living room right now I can feel the atmosphere even more. But your words have said it all. What our for those crabs! Love, Fran xx

I love the Englishness that comes from your poetry Ernestine, It makes me feel Good! ! ! I like the style you have used here, The two rhymes in one line, it really carries the poem, and the flow is just right, I also like your observations, the B&B's holdiday apartments, a lonely lighthouse, and much more, I particually like the line 'and salty winds beat distant waves, to the caves, it evokes a nice clear mental picture. Lovely work Ernestine. best wishes Vincent
