PANTOUM

Wet Monday at Rose Bay

the sky in deep shade grey
with milky custard cloud
cast heavy over the bay
halyards tinkling fluted sound

with milky custard cloud
the wind began to sing
halyard clanging bell'd sound
boats rocking bob and fling

the wind began to wail
rain falls on shell scrunched sand
boats rocking heave and fling
striped umbrellas inside out

rain pelts on shell scrunched sand
stinging skin and salted lips
ripped umbrellas inside out
tears washed in white foam waves

stinging skin and salted lips
downpour heavy over the bay
tears washed in white foam waves
the sky in deep shade grey

  2. Hi Rall,

    Sounds like a grey day! Thanks for the pantoum formula. I wonder if I could manage one of these? Don't hold your breath!

  3. Oh I am longing for a day like this! All I get here is hot or fog, or right now... almost autumn. Such vivid description....

    THANK YOU!
