Watchet (Picture by Darren Olley)

Watchet Revisited

Whispers by the harbour,
a dark poem in the breeze;
the Ancient Mariner

So many a bold seafarer
in Watchet’s feisty stories;
whispers by the harbour

In a sea-moor mist, a blur
of albatross sails, falls, curses
the Ancient Mariner

In Defoe’s footsteps stir
fossils divulging centuries;
whispers by the harbour

Watchet’s pride forever,
redeemed by Nature’s kisses;
the Ancient Mariner

Steam tourist, lone piper,
all Watchet acknowledges
whispers by the harbour,
the Ancient Mariner
