The salt air stirs the marram grass, the sand sedge and sea kale.
Alone she walks in beauty 'neath the dappled harvest moon.
Her ni...

Time To Go Merry-Go-Round

...You are in your prime, and I’m in my clime;
Why sweetie in twenty then we waste this time?

buoyant curlews play in oceans of copious grass,
wave after wave shattering against dry stone walls,
meadows dance the rhythm of the farmers weather...

with a a ledger; glasses; camera, and books, 
spend hours with patience in salt bush or long grass,
in hope there’s a moment, one cannot let pass.

  Or is it the green, fuzzy fruit that tastes so darn good?
