SOUTHERNDOWN BEACH

I wrote a verse on sand
Now lost to tide and wind:
Why should I take that worse
Than all my other verse?
Soon loss will have occurred
To all words but the Word;
None stands the tidal shock
Apart from Christ, the Rock.


Which finishes, and comments on, my diversion into the subject of writing verse.

  1. Very true words,
    We have a beach in Wales called Southerndown too.

  2. Yes, that's where I wrote it - a few years ago. It's great for starfish.
