The Mists Of Sennen…
The insistent and seemingly immovable mist lingered and veiled
The routes through Penwith towards the famed Sennen Cove
And in truth, there seemed little likelihood that the visibility there
Would be any different, as a right turn into Cove Road was negotiated
And the steep descent towards the sea driven, any hopes of a bright, warm visit curtailed…
The cove though nestled in clarity and the incoming tide purposeful, its palette fuelled
By a myriad of blues as it encroached the pallid amber beach sand and drove
Lustily forth. Yet, at the periphery, a screen of fog smothered the cove, where
Shadowy headlands became indistinct hulks and rocks like gravestones, infiltrated
By fictional movie mists, their horror and threat spookily unveiled…

19th June 2026…
Driving from Mousehole to Sennen Cove with the prevailing, pervading mist making the route seem eerie, then arriving at Sennen to find better visibility in the cove, which was however shrouded by the Cornish murk.
When I looked at the offshore rocks and nearby cliffs and headlands, I was reminded of graveyards in old black and white movies…
