POEM TITLE

A Welcoming on Sea

POEM

Can a ship that never sailed truly cross the sea,

And be welcomed to bridges always drawn?

Under the watchful eye of a castle's history,

You can discover a home away from home.


Brightness on the Forth shines an eternal summer,

As there is no darkness by Blackness on Sea.

Whether you're a regular or a newcomer,

You will always be treated like family.


So, for an evening where even the dogs may dwell,

Take a stroll along the road to our quaint little spot.

Join the Blackness Bay Lifeguards to sit for a spell,

As you head on down to The Lobster Pot.

This is one of the only poems I've seen here that actually makes me want to go to The Lobster Pot. It feels so warm and inviting.
