Little England
Neither visitors
Nor local inhabitants
Have strong Welsh accents
Picturesque
The boatsman curses
And pulls at the mooring rope:
Tourists think it quaint
Hyperlocality
Local produce makes
Local food for non-local
Consumers with cash
Porthgain sunset
Oystercatchers strut
The harbour mud, the works now
Idle and silent
.
Herding
The collie listens
For ancient commands: "Away"
"Come by" and "Lie down"
Leaving
The Irish ferry
Dips below the horizon
Headed for Rosslare
