POEM TITLE Blackness on Sea and what it means to me
POEM Blackness on Sea and what it means to me.
When I was a wee girl we would visit Blackness-on-sea
We had great fun on the beach, a great place for all the family
Then I moved away when I was twenty-one
To live in Jersey another great place with lovely beaches and sun
I'd return to Blackness for a walk along the shore
With my sister I appreciated it even more than before
We would chat for hours and walk for miles come rain, hail or shine
As no matter the weather, Blackness was a favourite place of mine
We would take mum and nana for a trip down to the sea
Spending quality time together, what a special place to be
We walked along to the castle and back to the Hamlet Tea Room
Eating scones, drinking tea and then visiting the cloakroom!
Then 18 years later more fond memories were made
With my nephew Bruce making sandcastles with his bucket and spade
When my nephew Jake from Cramlington came to visit his grandad and gran,
We would visit Blackness Castle as he was a big Harry Potter fan
So many memories created throughout the years of Blackness-on-Sea
And all of them involve different members of my precious family
And only two weeks ago I took my parents for a drive in the car
It was a lovely day and dad didn’t want to go too far
So, we came to Blackness and had dinner at The Lobster Pot
They had fish and chips and really liked it a lot
I had lobster and chips which was very tasty indeed
This little gem of a place has everything you need
To finish off our meal we got some fantastic ice cream
And walked around the building taking in all that we’d seen
So much character, artwork, great service and fab food
We left there and everyone was in a great mood
So next time you may be feeling a little low
Just remember Blackness-on-Sea is a great place to go!
