Forced.
"Bend or be broken" shrieks
wintery wind.
as showers of leaves show
amplified motion.
Crest of assenting screams
increase the noise
while roaring ocean whines
fury's defiance.
Bulge of stressed undertow
explodes in spume.
"Indulge or be forced" waves
must rise to obey.
Home and hearth is by far
the safer when
din-crazy breakers sing
duets with winter.

Oh I'm so with you onsnug warm at home on blustery c c cc cold days nowadays. Straddling the freezing winds was a thing of my young man days when foolishness was easy and fun. Gimmie a cosy survival any day now....
Brrrr you brought home the chill in your words today Fay, great pic too.
I'm still a fan of this picture, dear Fay
so menacing, so Nature: so alive!
a good read, thanks for sharing
Good write Fay.
A friend with family moved to Falmouth - oohh, nearer you?!
this should carry a warning that clearly states
Best read whilst seated at home in front of a blazing log fire, a warm radiator or the whole family sitting around warming their hands against an extra strong mint .. mug of cocoa handy, maybe a scotch and bowl of home made stew ...
made me shiver so ya did our Fay .. and it looks like tonight may bring further gales .. maybe even worse than them we had last nocte ............ N x
Got it mon ami- that cosy description of hearth and home comfort makes winter endurable yet I too shudder at what's forecast to come - - warm hugs help a lot tho' I question dear Nev your mention of scotch - -- followed by stew. - - - Ugh ...........x
for medicinal purposes only, I assure thee ............................................ x
Twas taste of the two mixed together I meant - medicinal eh ? -- well I may believe ya tho many wud say - cum on pull t'other or gerroffwidya mon ............. x x
Do you notice when it rains, gets a bit cold, car drivers crash all over the place. It's real survival out there. Need to mug a sheep now for a jumper.
The power of Nature is there and it can be dangerous but equally it can be wonderful to see.
