I’m lost can you guess where I am
Boggles live here
Smugglers have been here
Rocky caves and sandy beaches
The sea rumbling like my belly
by Corrie
It is Spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black, the
cobblestreets silent and the hunched, courter's-and-rabbits' wood limping
invisible down to the sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboat-bobbing
sea.
Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas

This place is for smuggling, pirates rule the roost
Boggles haunt the doorways
And as the caves come crashing down around your head all evidence is lost in the tangle of evicting waves
Message in a bottle by Eve
Boggle lives in a hole
The smugglers hide their iphones
Robin Hood never lived at this bay
Where unknown creatures lay
Message in a bottle by Edward
The waves cracking, crashing and scuffing
Sea roaring like and angry old man
Wind, air the heart of the world
Splash, splish, puddles
Message in a bottle by Rory

Waves as big as caves
Criminals come/treasure
Robin Hood got scared away from the Boggle
The cliffs fall like thorns
Message in a bottle by Connor
Look for a place where It’s rocky and slippery
Waves as high as caves
That is that
We are near the Boggle’s cave
Where Robin Hood stands at bay
Where the white horses meet land
Eating away at the cliffs
Crashing and sliding in to the sand
Robin Hood is no bay
The boggle scared him away
Past the hostel
To the land of long seeing sea
