Tucked in a valley, a long walk away <br />From dwellings or ice-cream selling, paradise <br />................lies hiding. <br /> <br />Polyjoke Cove provides place <br />For escape and delight, with sheer cliff height <br />.................surrounding the bay. <br /> <br />Only the hardy <br />Attempt the tough hike across field and stile. <br />Yet worth every while when picture-postcard <br />Beach, white rollered and fresh as paint <br />......................... beguiles <br />The rambler's eye. <br /> <br />What relief to sit and <br />Feel awhile <br />...................... the lonliness. <br /> <br />Black-faced rocks <br />Protect this hideaway, <br />.............. caves edge the sand <br />Before white crested waves <br />.................. haltingly stop <br />Sea from swallowing the narrow gap. <br /> <br />Maybe <br />The predating buzzard will fly today <br />Above Polyjoke Cove, <br />................scream his freedom <br />And dive with an ecstatic flight display. <br /> <br />White brushed on blue, <br />................ the sky melting with sea <br />Drowns with beauty all that my eye can see.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/polyjoke-cove/
