A hand spread of yellow tends to orange
jammed into a fist of green blending red out
of its own making; then grey-green stubble
broken by deep orange above a line
of yellow striking alongside a low path
on the other side of which it‘s Scilly White,
yellow, red and orange chasing around
among green up one side of Kittern Hill.
The porth’s predominantly thick pale green
broken in by stretches of strong turquoise
or undercut by mauve and some purple.
The far shore is black, grey and brown, cackled
by white grey squabbling gulls; while the small boats,
calling, squirt bright wake from under drab hulls
[Scilly White is a type of daffodil]
