A wave roars as it always does

A chill wind blows across the beach
It finds the cracks in my coat
The sun is present but gives no warmth
A cold brightness makes the sand golden
But the distant hills are black

A solitary gull cries out
It sounds lonely, loud and mournful
The sea smells normal but neutral
A wave roars as it always does
But it lacks enthusiasm

It's autumn.

October now, better get out the winter duvet.
The picture is good, looks almost surreal.
I like the lines "A wave roars as it always does. But it lacks enthusiasm" could be used to describe a lion in a zoo

  I was actually cold in bed last night, so I think we do need another blanket on!

  I saw a splash of blue sky a few minutes ago, but it's gone now. More later though, I'm sure!

Well matched pic and words, so true too, it is getting cold enough at night to light a fire x

  I was hoping we'd get to the end of October before having to turn any heating on, but the way things are going that looks unlikely now.

    Ours is on, but I feel the cold anyway. Haven't actually lit the fire yet though cos it gets really hot in the sitting room but i think we might this weekend x

  That was me. I made the words up to suit the picture, inspired by my morning doggie walking.
