Tides

Tides by Jenny Joseph 'There are some coasts Where the sea comes in spectacularly Throwing itself up gullies, challenging cliffs, Filling the harbours with great swirls and flourish, A theatrical event that people gather for Curtain up twice daily. You need to know The hour of its starting, you have to be on guard. There are other places Places where you do not really notice The gradual stretch of the fertile silk of water No gurgling or dashings here, no froth no pounding Only at some point the echo may sound different And looking by chance one sees ‘Oh the tide is in.’
