Light Breaks Water On The North Sea
This is for the Vocal "Light Breaks Water" Challenge
Introduction
I usually limit myself to one entry per challenge, but on the train up to Scotland today, the sun was shining on the North Sea, so I thought that would make a perfect villanelle for the challenge.

Lux Seastina
Introduction For this challenge, I will use the Sestina form that you can read about here. Blame Vocal because it is on the list of poetry forms and is my third Sestina. I use the same rhyme for every line because the switching of the words would make it impossible, unless I decided to go non-rhyming, but I always make things difficult for myself.

Harpoon to the Heart
When it comes to storytelling in music, few artists can match Paul Kelly. The Australian singer-songwriter, renowned for his poetic lyricism and heartfelt melodies, has done it again with his latest single, βHarpoon to the Heart.β Released in late 2024 as part of his acclaimed album Fever Longing Still, this song captures the intensity, vulnerability, and complexity of love β all with Kellyβs signature storytelling touch.

Great combination of photography and poetry and I love the North East Coast. I was at the southern opening of the North Sea at the weekend: Margate, dreaming of all the wonderful places connected by that sea.
Lovely trip.
I adore this poem mate. Your photographs really tie the piece together. Along with that youβve got a really memorable way with words. You can almost imagine this being recited to music with a montage of your photos in the background. Gorgeous β€οΈ
Your photos complemented your poem sooo beautifully!
This is beautiful π I love your photos too!
Simply beautiful in words and pictures. Good job.
