Promenade walking
Wide horizons broadening
Truths in plainer sight

Haiku: ‘Plain Truth’
Tag: sand
Runaway (Poem)
Footprints along the strand
stretching off to nowhere
A beach all my own
save for curious gulls
eyeing from Hesperides’ skies.
Kernow was never so lush
or windswept; are they bells
pealing on the breeze, like
lost Lyonesse beckoning
to this broken soul?
Maybe heartless time is melting,
melding; I run and run
into the gelid ocean, the two
once twain — now consumed

Haiku: Looking South
Ripples like wet skin
Midday spangles looking south
Waders distant calls

Hunstanton Seaside Town, Norfolk
Hunstanton is one of the better seaside towns of Norfolk, in East Anglia, England.
With travel restrictions in place for most of the year, plus a curtailed holiday season, many Brits have been making the most of their own backyard, including traditional the traditional seaside.
Almost unique, the resort faces west, so is known for its spectacular sunsets. Not too hi-brow, it has a certain old world charm, with a sense of lived-in Victoriana, especially towards the end of the holiday season.
Definitely worth a visit in these strange and difficult times.
