The Sea--By Anne Curran--New Zealand

The Sea

my curtains open
I see the low silhouette
of mountains on the horizon
I feel sea-spray on my face
from breakers lapping the shore
water fills my footprints
as I walk its length.

my curtains drawn
the sky is a pea-soup green
the sea an inscrutable blue
foam-crested waves
curl with cold
against a stony shore
only the wind stalks the beach.

Anne Curran writes in Hamilton New Zealand where she resides with her pet car Misty and extended family of parents, brothers and sisters. She loves art, going to see films, and walks.

  2. I enjoyed your imagery... I could see the mountains and the beach. I could also feel the need to be closed in the cold windy weather.
