The Cornish shore … Where golden sand lies next To dappled grey granite rock, Where the sea breeze sweeps And the mussels flock, Where the rock pools gather And the small crabs patrol, Where the white foam curls And the breakers roll, Where the sea birds call And the salt spray stings, Where the seaweed sunbathes And the limpet clings, Where a stream’s course meanders, And reflects the azure sky, Where a starfish gazes skywards And white clouds go scudding by. By all means take treasured memories, But please take nothing more, And leave nothing but your footprints On this sacred Cornish shore …

This poem put me right there. Cornwall is on my bucket list but I’ll only leave a foot print when I get there!

Hi Darlene, great to receive your lovely comments. I have just uploaded a video to go with my poem 'Padstow 2020 Lockdown'. It shows some aerial views of some other beaches here in Cornwall UK. It shows them in May 2020 during the UK's Covid-19 lockdown. Though not the best circumstances to see the beach maybe! You have a good day also. :) ~ Clive
