Yellow

Standard
Tuesday 25th July 

A glimpse of yellow
Sweet and fair
Its tender bloom
Beyond compare
All those flowers
Their heads do raise
A sun-kissed hue
That softly sways

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Blustery

Standard
Monday 24th July 

Upon the blustery
Wind-blown shore
Where choppy waves
In fury roar
Where surfers brave
With hearts of steel
Swimmers plunge
A chill to feel

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The putting green
The rocky end of Porthmeor Beach
Wind, white horses and waves
Surf School ready to hit the waves
Sitting out of the wind, with a steaming hot cappuccino. It really doesn’t feel like summer!
Lifeguards on duty

Porthmeor surfers
Very low tide
Fun in the waves

Very dark clouds on the horizon

Heavy rain

Standard
Saturday 22nd July 

Heavy rain
Persistent showers
Turns skies to grey
For hours and hours
Nature's tears
Sad they seem
Awaken the earth
From a dream

Love you so much

Through the railings
Dank and gloomy
Grey skies, grey seas, grey rooftops

A stroll down the hill

Standard
Friday 21st July 

A stroll down the hill
Has just begun
Wandering around
Beneath the sun

Coffee and cake
A delightful treat
Beside the beach
Where sand and sea meet

Surfers in waves
Gliding with grace
Chasing a thrill
In foamy embrace

They dance with the sea
Showing graceful flair
Jumping the swell
Suspended in air

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Porthmeor Beach and the Island
Surf School students getting ready
Lifeguards watching the surfers
Tents and windbreaks for shelter and shade
Porthmeor West
The harbour sandbank
Smeaton’s Pier

Everywhere

Standard
Thursday 20th July 

Everywhere I look
I catch a glimpse of you
Everywhere I've known
Is where you're with me too
Everywhere I am
Your presence fills the air
In whispers of the wind
I feel you there

Love you so much
Beloved sons

The mind wanders

Standard
Wednesday 19th July 

The mind wanders
Untethered and free
Exploring the realms
Of possibility
What if, it ponders....
With wistful gaze
If only, it whispers...
Lost in the haze
Many thoughts swirl
Like leaves in a breeze
Unfolding scenarios
With effortless ease
Dreams maybe captured
Like stars in a jar
And regrets vanish
Like a fading scar

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Cloudy, but dry today

Within

Standard
Tuesday 18th July 

Within many people
There are wounds that bleed
Scars from past battles
Carefully concealed
Their struggles and sorrows
The burdens they bear
Unseen chapters of lives
They may never share

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Drizzly today

Amidst this tableau

Standard
Monday 17th July 

Amidst this tableau
It's time to unwind
To let go of burdens
And leave them behind
Breathe in fresh air
Let worries cease
Finding solace
In the ocean's peace

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Going down Porthmeor Hill to the beach
Blooming agapanthas
Blues and greens
Not too busy on the beach
A breezy afternoon
Clouds over the harbour
But still quite warm
Holidaymakers enjoying the sunshine
The tide is coming in

Stillness

Standard
Sunday 16th July 

In the stillness
Of a Sunday morning
When time moves slow
And the day is dawning
Thoughts dance softly
With contentedness
A gentle sigh
Smiles of happiness

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A showery day
With some sunny spells
