The Sandbar

Leaf 219 – Looking Back

 

Tim Chamberlain - The Sandbar (1999)

This is another poem, or rather a linked set of twinned haiku, about Cornwall – where I spent all my childhood summers (see, Leaf 2 and Leaf 6).

 

 

Wading out to the sandbar

– salty tang of sun-seared

gorse and granite.

 

Footprints in the sand,

forever unerased

– holiday snapshot.

 

 

 

Charles Naper - Nanjizal, towards Porthcurno
