Leaf 276 – Looking Back

| Claude Monet - Fishing Boats Calm Sea (1868) |
For a number of years, I lived
in London’s Limehouse. I used to love walking by the River Thames, especially
on warm summer’s evenings. This poem, written at that time, remembers those quiet
evening walks when training dinghies from the sailing school at Shadwell Basin were
out on the wide open-water, practicing.
River at high water,
gentle flap of sails
– evening light.
