VICTORIAN PICTURES ©
by Robbie Kennedy Bennett

We travelled away to where sea birds play
And the water glistened brightly in the sun,
We walked early in the year along a Victorian pier
Where elders many years ago had done.

Looking out to the sea far away,
I promised myself
To remember this fine day.
Still early spring
In the pleasant month of May.
Although I admit that the wind was blowing cold
I know time is passing and we are growing old,

How many years will we share precious time,
Are we maturing
Like dusty cellared wine.

Then I asked as we walked in the sunshine by the sea,
What will it be like
Without you or maybe me.

I suppose of cause I felt that we were growing old,
Are these days bronze or silver
Or shining bright like gold.

The wind and the sea and the buildings by the shore,
The Victorian pictures
Of many years before.
We could be any couple in olden day time
Maturing and ageing like dusty cellared wine.

We followed in footsteps of old
As we braced the wind and the cold.
In springtime we viewed
The Welsh landscape and the coast,
A charming little guesthouse
With breakfast tea and toast.

Although I admit that the wind was blowing cold
I know time is passing and we are growing old,
For it is still early spring
In the pleasant month of May,
And I promised myself
To remember this fine day.
But what will it be like
Without you or maybe me
The first time we walk along the coast and by the sea.

TREARDDUR BAY ©
by Robbie Kennedy Bennett

The rocky shoreline was picturesque,
Characteristic and majestic.

I walked some way, around Trearddur Bay.
And relished the reception of a July day.
The resemblance of grass and a Celtic shawl,
Covering layers of stone rustic and tall.
The rhythm of the sea kept calling,
Wave upon wave, crashing and falling.
As the rocky shoreline broke the advance,
The ocean swayed like lads and lassies at a country-dance.
I listened to nature's melody, on the Isle of Anglesey.

Attracted by evidence of time previously,
Am I witnessing history, I wondered, possibly.
Was this in the past a fertile coast?
Where boys heard a tale and fishermen boast.

Did they have no say, at Treaddur Bay?
Where every young fellows future lay.
Out to sea at early hours,
In wild storms and heavy showers.
Were they first to jump out of their vessel to shore?
With rope in young hand to securely moor,
Their craft in shallow sea to the land.
In a mature youthful way, earning pittance of pay,
Did they transport their catch across sand?

Again my mind is wondering,
This pleasant morn of a July day.
As the ocean keeps on plundering,
The rugged rocks at Treaddur Bay.

The tune awoke me from my dream,
Brought me back here from where I'd been.
As the rocky shoreline broke the advance,
The ocean swayed like Lords and Ladies at a ballroom dance.
I listened to nature’s symphony, on the Isle of Anglesey.

The rocky shoreline was picturesque,
Characteristic and majestic.
