When the Sea Fret Hit

its that time o year again almost .. maybe .. well it is here ..

When the Sea Fret Hit

As the sea fret hit the shore, bolder than brass

with no sign of shame at all

She did sweep all in her path before her

and to each side, brass monkeys came to mind

Then without a blush at all

she kissed that sailors haar’s and wove him a

tale more fragile than lace, hoar frost feathered ..

 

 

Author's Note

Haar or sea fret is a cold sea fog. It occurs most often on the east coast of Great Britain between April and September, when warm air passes over the cold North Sea. The term is also known as har, hare, harl, harr and hoar ...

Never heard before of Sea Fort term, wow! this is wild dear Nevile! I so love it, to me it's like a fairytale, a Goddess's Spirit spreading her anger all over the place, from these ancient times till now she never fails to come... I don't know but I do see myself there so extra loving to your poem lol

Though the mighty sea is beautiful to behold, gotta admire the power and all that she puts up in the way of magnificence, .. ' She did sweep all in her path before her ' yep, show her some respect I agree Neville!!

After this summer I would lie on that beach and let the frost cover me from head to toe:) Something rather soothing about a good frost right about now
