There’s moorings and docks
Quayside capstans anchored deep
boats bob, another’s wake

Crops Growing
The rain falls and fills
banks boiling over, bursting
Nearby fields flooded
The musk Rat
Tail slaps the water
Alarm sounded all dive deep
cautious calm returns
The Heron
Stalking still water
Silver fish darting in reeds
speared by speedy beak
It’s High Tide
Harbour Master checks
Time says the High Tide is here;
It waits for no man
Lying in wait
Great catfish patient
waiting for submerged debris
Baited hook, no bite!
Water Clarinet
Pensford’s river Boyd
I, a stranger on its shore
Home of Acker Bilk
Elders and Fyffes
Fyffes banana boats
Docked inside Floating Harbour
cranes unload cargo
From Atop Spaniorum Hill
You see the Severn
Starts boggy at Plynlimon
Ends in Irish Sea
River Castles in France
La Dordogne si belle
Her name runs through Gascony
Chateaux line her banks
