Strutting Out To Sea

Deal Pier not too long and not too wide Leisure seating stretches along the sides Straddling the sea on solid concrete legs Legs planted deep into the chalk seabed Quiescent as the rolling sea comes and goes Bearing the force of the tides ebb and flow Bathed in the sun's first morning light Cast in silhouette when the moon is bright Casually stroll the length of the pier where the salty sea air is refreshingly clear Gaze out to the ships moored in the Downs Gaze back towards delightful old Deal town.
