Baulking, Bunching…
(Inspired by an old image of Mousehole, Cornwall…)
Beached vessels’ gunwales carelessly loll
Like bathers but not quite beauties;
Hulls bunched, hardly in line
As they await high-tide and a resumption of duties…
Lurched vessels creak, masts drum
Like protectors of the harsh shore, baulking;
Hulls hunched, comically in line
As if awaiting the dreaded resumption of caulking…
Pete Ray…
The vessels look almost like rather plump Victorian ‘bathing beauties’…
