Moor
Davidstow
moor
in blowing sea fret
views
all obscured
not
much to see
trees all lie parallel
top of the wall
beaten
by wind
straight
from the West
atmosphere
spooky
murder
on Rough Tor
1844
Caroline Dymond
ghost
here abouts?
one
metal giant
standing
not marching
appears
through the cloud
cows
at the feet
Don
Quixote's windmills
modern
dormant
white
metal flowers
materialise
then vanish
sheep,
lambs, ponies
blurred
indistinct edges
soft
shadows whispy
on
the edge of this cloud
fret
getting denser
time
to retreat
searching
for sunshine
much
lower down

reading your poem I can feel the atmosphere of this place

Ola: It was very atmospheric up there glad you could feel it.
I have read so many books featuring moors. I hope one day to get to visit one. They always seem so romantic.
I could easily put myself right there!! Well done.
Very nice, it feels very remote and desolate, yet with lots of history.
Lisa @ Two Bears Farm: Being on the moors is so weather dependent,romantic one minute then a howling gale the next. A great environment either way.
KaHolly: Thanks for the compliment,glad you liked it.
Al: Just how it is. Pleased you liked it.
i envisioned the trees with branches on one side, stripped through the ages by wind.
Out on the prairie: Pretty much how they are, the moor has been wind blown for ever!
Atmospheric seems to be the word that comes to mind! I, too, would be retreating lower down for some sunshine too (and fewer ghosts).
Mitch Block: Atmospheric and ghostly but none ever made themselves known!
Very powerful! Great poem. :)
Nancy Claeys: Thanks for these words.
"fret getting denser"is a great line. And I hate that word verification too. Finally solved it on my blog by putting in moderation. It worked. The spammers don't come by anymore because they know it is futile, I will just delete them.
Fret there is no other word for this type of fog so add denser to it and it seems to say what I want. Thanks.
...love it. I've never seen a moor in person, but I picked up the feeling of one in your poem.
Kelly:A moor can be such a wild place hence when the sun shines it is a great place to be but when the rain/snow/fog is down inhospitable is the only description. Glad you got the feeling of this moor.
Oooh, I can just sense it, as though I am there. So well done.
KaHolly: So pleased you could join me!
Oh my....!!!! What you can make, stunning!! =O
:)
Viola: Fog hides so much imagination makes the rest!!
