Newlyn Haiku
January 25, 2010
Winter
Hymns rouse the chapels -
forts of faith. Outside, kids text.
I-pods fake icons.
Spring
Buccas in snug pubs:
Sea is a fickle lover.
Beer glasses sweat tears.
Summer
Gulls bovver the boats.
Waters crest in champagne foam -
toast fishermen’s haul.
Autumn
Spectral waves at night.
White cottages petrify
tidemarks of lost times.
