Hi Sally,
I think, like Christina, I'd lose the first four lines, just because they
seemed a bit disconnected from the rest of the poem, which I really liked.
Good title too, I thought.
Regards,
Matt

Any port

In the grey stone wall of the morning
I search for you
but in the blushing pink of sky
I see nothing
This is a new day beginning
excitement flutters on a blackbird's wing
and damp flowers uncurl
There is an ache to these early hours
when the moon has turned tides
and there is nothing left on the horizon
except a ship in full sail
and an empty harbour after the storm.
