Fiery Red Hair



This poem was inspired by a series I had been watching on the BBC entitled : 'Poldark'
It was such a great series and I was so captivated by the character 'Demelza' - they captured her beautifully.
Demelza, and the land of Cornwall inspired this poem .

Over and under the Cornish waves
Through and through the meadow paves.
A girl sings, red hair swings, around her willowing frame                                          
Hear the larks as they call her name,                                                                            
Her piercing green eyes light up the night.                                                                   
She looks around, they give me a fright.
On and on the wind blows
At the highest of peaks, indeed she knows.
The Cornish skies and the Cornish hills,
The Cornish cliffs, industries and mills.
The Cornish air, witness does bear,
The Cornish wind through her fiery red hair.
