Cornish Holidays The Cornish coast we went to find, a holiday, to clear our mind,. amidst the coves and rocky bays, we spent the summers longest days. But lurking somewhere, way on high, were clouds that darkened Cornish sky. Soon torrents fell from heaven above and drenched the coves and bays we love. With drumming sounds, like little feet, it fell for days on our retreat and rivers ran, where once we played, while we all huddled there, dismayed. Then through a hole, in sky like night we thought we saw a glimmering light. The sun, I'm sure, was still around and trying to force back all our frowns. Then at last the teeming ceased, the earth dried up, though slightly creased. Our souls quite dampened by the storm we took outdoors once more to warm. A burning sun and gentle breeze helped us recover from our siege and soon our shouts of joy and glee proclaimed our spirits all soared free. Remember when in Cornish ways the sound of splashing comes two ways, it’s joyful when it’s lapping seas accompanied by the sun and breeze. But when it falls from heaven above, it floods your heart and saps your love of Cornwall, as the place to stay, when stuck there for your holiday. Ivor G Davies The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last. It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past. |

Hmm, I suppose I'll just have to get my Cornish pasties from my local bakery.  lolIt would appear to me that I enjoyed your poem better than you enjoyed your Cornish holiday! |
