Ode To the Brighton Seagull
From lofty heights the seagull spies The weighted hands of eager guests He circles high and swoops down low stealing our supper as he goes ... Meanwhile our hands now weightless feel our appetite remains at ill Perhaps some fleeting chance remains to buy our supper once again. Standing tall upon a grassy nook wary wanderers on...

Brighton Beach
Hand in hand strolling on the reach, Love in your eyes, sand between your toes. Where this will end only love knows, Loving life on beautiful Brighton Beach. Every second together my adoration heightens, Every day apart more frustration creeps in. I wait impatiently for when our new life can begin, And we’re loving life on the Beach at Brighton. Off home you...

Brighton-England
Historical Brighton, South coast of England, Surviving foreign sea attacks, Declining population, Until the roads improved, And the train lines brought, More traveling visitors, Located one hour from London, Becoming a boarding point to France, Trading the port’s economy, Visitors started to arrive, King George, Constructed the royal pavilion, No expense spared, Glamorous! Eccentric glory, Later sold to the city, A mere fifty pounds, Tourism! Day-trippers, Bathing in the sea, Said to be healing, Was that...

Brighton Bridge
There came a Thrush To Brighton bridge To her cold downy snow Covered birch woods Floor planks marked By hurried prints Trailing off to distance errands In its beak There a crimson flower As odd its place to rest How far it must have traveled With such a treasured gift But no more odder Then the hurried footsteps scattered Along the weathered floor planks of...

Premium Member The River Mersey and the Black Pearl New Brighton
The River Mersey and The Black Pearl New Brighton Let the Caribee and sultry sea call to the pirates bold. But on this shore, with its tales of lore, The Mersey keeps its hold For merchants, priests and pirates too left these docks to find A new life abroad with bible or sword, leaving their old life...

Brighton In September
You traced A heart in the water Of a rock pool In the morning As we still glowed From the loving As milk floats raced Along the seafront and Seagulls raided the bins But later... Time fell into the tide And when we talked It became heavily conjunctive And we lost it all Suddener As we could ever have imagined Because you never Knew the difference Between you And what you said....

Brighton
Birds are coming down to rest on the Burnt-out bones of Brighton Pier. Wish you were here. My eyes lie well, tell me you're here With the birds, and the pier, and my bones Are no longer lonely. The burnt-out sun comes down to Kiss the sea, and through the peering birds Your voice is heard. Birds are coming down to rest on...

Premium Member On Brighton Beach
Tents of various colours in parade across the sands It's summer time in Brighton as the sun beams down so grand Families too many to mention, on blanketed abound Whilst laughter resonates from the children all around Even nature has her say as the waves caress the shore Just like yesterday, and so many years before Gliding terns and seagulls grace...

Brighton Streets
Do I dare look at you when I walk these streets? Chase your shadow as it crawls under my feet? For I have walked my way through These pleasant, summer nights Trailing any trace of you in amber Street lights. Hearing the laughter of men and women Drunken behind bars, their obliviousness Billowing with the smoke of cigars And once again I begin...
