Notes About The Poem

Room With a View

Room With a View

A room with a view of the sea
Where waves roll in with the breeze,
With sunlight invading the place,
Casting shadows of ambivalent grey.

The vista one sees is hard to reiterate
When distance and time co-operate;
In a shrinking world out there in space
To the cataclysm at the edge of the bay.

Very powerfully written, Dennis. Your description of the vista that catches the sea presents a strong image of infinity, a world that stretches far beyond sight. Excellent work. Be well. Brian
