Klio Tsitsikroni Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

We went down to Dorset for my Birthday surprise. It was wonderful to see the Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove. It is Thomas Hardy's hometown. I had a few drinks in Thomas Hardys historic Acorn Inn. Bought a huge collection of his poetry, which I shall enjoy reading. 

I have no idea how to attach a picture here. So if you want to see what it looks like. Google will help. If anyone would be kind enough to explain how to attach the pics, please email me instructions. Thank you. 

The Craggy Hills

Upon these craggy hills, I sit and in wonderment, I stare 
Gods beauty is reflected everywhere 
thundering surf crashing below
It's Thomas Hardy's world we know

The limestone rock formations 
Millions of years the transformation 
Under the sea, they lay until the continents collided
And here they stand in awe, magnificently divided. 
The Jurassic coast of Dorset
Lulworth Cove its corset.

On ancient hills, my feet now trudge 
I give myself a needed nudge 
A little further up the hill
I feel a sudden eerie chill 
The ghost of Thomas Hardy in our midst 
Least I fool you with my wist.

I walk upon these craggy hills 
The ocean below its froth it spills
How much longer, my feet are aching
The suns come out and I am baking.

A little further, a little more
Around the corner awaits Durdle Door 
I punch my fist up in the air, 
What I see below is rare.

Durdle Door the famous arch 
I reached it finally. I am parched.
I snap the pictures in disbelief 
There it stands like a commander in chief

The arch looks like a dinosaur
The thunderous waves roar with encore
My eyes hug the cliffs along the coast
The Atlantic Ocean blue, the sky reflecting in its hue

A ship in the distance is sailing 
I must make my visit brief Adele and the dogs are waiting
I quench my thirst with much-needed water
I should have made her come, I should have brought her.

The snaps and video will have to do 
I loved my trip down the Jurassic coast and so will you.
