Esplanade of Bent Spires

Pic collage by Gemma Wiseman ~ Pointed white "sculptures" over the new road tunnel at Safety Beach/Mount Martha marina, Mornington Peninsula. They represent masts of yachts that sail Port Phillip Bay?

PhotoHunt Prompt #117 ~ Pointed

Parallels of white spires
Sedately cast a
Pasted bow to
Fickle traffic
Passing through
This esplanade of
Hollow churches with
Suitable
Royal
Indifference

Leslie said...: OK, I really liked the symbolism of the masts in the photo - my dad was a yachtie and we had an entry in the Brisbane to Gladstone once... Oh, and he sailed in the Sydney to Hobart a few times.

And I really like the poem. I am a poet's daughter. :)
