The Harbour

by nick-strong

Pots, coiled ropes, orange, blue Laid, at the harbor side, waiting Waiting, for the tide, An old fishing net, laid on the concrete, A weathered sunburnt fisherman, Sitting quietly repairing holes within holes Birds perching patiently on the harbor wall, Waiting In the distance the sun dips towards the horizon Casting a light over a returning trawler The birds lift lethargically from Harbour perch, beat their wings , wheel Towards an incoming meal ticket
