Empty Harbours

Neville

Empty Harbours

 

Empty harbours

Yawning

Hungry and waiting

.

Empty harbours

Lying

Gaping and gasping

.

Empty harbours

Gagging

Drowning and sighing

.

Empty harbours

Raped

Aching and crying ..

.

Empty harbours

Echo

Within their own walls

.

Empty harbours

Screaming

Let this be a warning

.

Empty Harbours

    Boating industries are sufferinig fishless and families too are crying for help - a fine piece of warning which should be read by a much wider audience my dear friend.....x

    • Neville



      Thanks Fay .. to say they know not what they are doing is such a crude joke, having been warned for quite some time .. makes me wonder in which direction many of em are looking ....... Am glad that's off my chest .. keeping quiet can be such a burden ........................ x

      Fished out - 'sorry to make this reductionist and personal Neville, but it is reminiscent of the empty toilet roll shelves as we just enter lockdown here.
      Too many people too much greed.
      Powerful little warning. Many thanks.

        'Empty Harbours
        Ripe: for Conquering, once again
        only now, its a psychologic warfare - game
        depressingly...
        history, sure does like its repeat episodes eh my friend
        like clockwork, some sage's foretold and foretell
        we cockroaches self-sabotaging eventually,
        our blind rage of orange, lunacy
        a bit lick a clockwork orange film plot, only
        this be modernity's unfathomable: reality...
        sigh, Sigh.... SIGH!

            Not so easy to tear up and build houses upon as those old railway lines, long removed, which we morn today.Empty harbours echoing the call of seabird... where are our fish?

            Great poem Neville which raised in me the hopeful thought that our solid old harbours shall once again see the tides turn and have a second calling. They do have a rugged beauty which cries out all of your verses to those who pause to behold.

            • Neville



              Bless ya DA .. that's the spirit .. let's hope the tide will indeed turn .. for all our sakes and that of our children's children ... many thanks for diving in ๐Ÿ™‚

            • Jerry Reynolds

              Good write, Neville.
              We all can relate to the death of the ocean.

              • Neville



                .......... there are not enough fish in the sea sir .. not any more there aint ... thanks for hopping on board my friend ๐Ÿ™‚

                Those empty harbours will become barren in time if the world does not correct its attitude.

                  Neville,

                  So, so sadโ€ฆ
                  Thereโ€™s always hope that
                  these wrongs will be righted.

                  Laura๐ŸŒป
