A Final Summer Flare
By Paul Coleman
Becalmed.
Serene.
Mistily surreal.
Like teal blue silkened lava.
The Thames Estuary, determinedly unhurried, ebbs and flows at Westcliff-on-Sea.
And sun-baked, friendly people sizzle along this esplanade.
Paddle, promenade and soak up a final flare of summer balm.
Under a vast, wide blue Essex sky.
Before tomorrow's advancing Autumn shroud falls on the river
Concealing a vast blue Essex sky.
Before tomorrow's advancing Autumn shroud falls on the river
Concealing a vast blue Essex sky.
