The poem "Blakeney Point" captures the essence of a stormy winter day on the coast. The description of the sky as "leaden and grey" sets the tone for the bleak and foreboding atmosphere. The use of sensory language, such as the "ice-cold wind" and the "white crest upon the waves," allows the reader to fully immerse themselves in the setting. The comparison of the sound of the waves breaking to thunder adds to the overall sense of power and intensity.

The imagery of the sand dunes stretching across the isthmus and the muddy channels cut through with a mere trickle of water creates a vivid picture of the landscape. The mention of the boats moored and abandoned, once a fisherman's pride, waiting to be consumed by the sea with each rising tide, brings a sense of melancholy and loss to the scene.

The inclusion of the seals and gulls scattered far and wide across the dunes adds to the natural beauty of the area, despite its foreboding nature. The final line, "To be left as it was found," reinforces the idea of preserving the natural world and leaving it untouched.

One suggested line edit would be to change "waiting upon the tide" to "waiting for the tide," as it flows better with the rest of the poem's language and rhythm.

Overall, "Blakeney Point" is a well-crafted poem that effectively captures the mood and setting of a stormy winter day on the coast.

Hello, Johnnie,
Having never heard of it, I looked up Blakeney Point. Your line, "...it is nature at its most pure. To be left, as it was found" is a great, grounded description. I can imagine the foreboding feeling of the winter's day in your poem, but also the mesmerizing sensation one would have looking over the dunes. Your poetry takes the reader on a visit using all the senses. Very nice!
