Sleeping Beauty Poem by Nia Williams

A multitude of sailors gathering
Amongst the river muscle men
Conwy Cruise ship glides by announcing
The kaleidoscopic view
Of the ‘Sleeping Beauty’.
Early evening embarks
Upon Mulberry view
Sandbanks emerge
From below the tide.
A man made scene of stone
Once stood guarded by steel
In honour of ancient royalties
Today it carries the flag of glory
We walk the walls
We paint its portrait on postcards
The highlight of tourism
Lies above the quay.
