Iron Lighthouse

On the north sea coast at Harwich
Iron lighthouse in the sea
Built to replace the old one
back in eighteen sixty-three

The Venetian Lighthouse

Part 12 of 20 in ‘The Aegean Shores’ series

To the Venetian Lighthouse
on the old harbour wall
with the breeze from the sea
to cool down one and all
As usual we timed it
with no one about
as it’s only much later
that they all come out

Whitley Bay

St Mary’s lighthouse on the coast
here at Whitley Bay
On a coastal island
at the tail end of a day

In from the fog

I could tell by all the seagulls
and the chap up on the prow
getting ropes all ready
that we were nearing Porto now

The Lighthouse Shines On

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The lighthouse stands tall and proud
Shining its warning
Out over the sea
Its’ light penetrates deeply
Into the darkness

Silent stiletto

Canopy of dark black clouds

Static irreplaceable titanic troll

Waiting for unassuming misled lads

Lassies widows and blighted brides all,

Lures around the winding steps then the

Hopeless find sense as they fly off the zenith dive.

Beacon Bright

Beacon there, beacon bright

Shining steadily through the night

Keeping the shoreline for the boat

Out at sea, boats out afloat.

Making sure of no bumps or knocks

No disasters on the craggy rocks
