| I sit at the window And gaze outside Watching folks As they stroll by Across the road A gravel path Skirts the Park And concrete wharf. The Pier stands guard At the Harbour mouth Its red eye flashing East and South The old Lighthouse Has long been gone Replaced by a red And white steel pole. The Ducks and Geese And Swans glide by While overhead Gulls soar and cry. The waves lap gently At the shore Swishing to and Gurgling fro In the Park The Trees give shade Scattered here Or scattered there Against one clump The Band Stand sits Waiting patiently For the stroke of six And at the stroke The Band gives start And lilting Music Fills the Park The Towns' Folk Gather all around Tis Sunday Eve In Old Bronte Town |

Leelee; Thank you. . The reason we moved here 30 years ago was not only for work but we loved the small town charm of Bronte and the friendliness off the people. Some time if one closes ones eyes you can see 19th century Bronte floating in the mist. Camac. |

| Bronte sounds lovely, was it named after the sisters famed for authorship? Nice imagery in your poem. |

| Teriodin; Actually no. It was Named after Admiral Lord Nelson (who amongst his many titles was Count of Bronte)as it was founded by retired Royal Navy people Camac. |
