Polser Brook Sanctuary

This little spot sites beneath the Grantham Canal near Bassingfield on the outskirts of Nottingham. It was discovered by chance and it invited me down beneath the canal to the small brook beneath. The concrete structure of the canal at odds with the hushed sounds of the trees and the water moving along the brook.

Return to the hidden oasis,

Nestled beneath the trees

Nestled beneath the trees, easy to miss

A calming twinkle of water over rocks

Dappled shade, sunshine through branches

Concrete structures harden the green

The sound of the birds sings from high

Stranger stops, breaking the sounds

Time out is welcome, somewhere to hide

Hot doggy breath and tumbling water

Bird song and pheasant caws

Words inspired by my first visit down to the brook
