Our Wonderful World: The Delta Works

Details of my Poetry Month Project can be found here.





The Delta Works along the coast of the Netherlands are fascinating works of engineering. 

I have a couple of Fibs for today.


The Netherlands

Low,
flat,
Holland,
diked and dammed.
From sea, polders rise:
a Mondrian of tulip fields.

Delta Works

Walled,
diked,
blocked up,
occluded,
barricaded shut:
the Netherlands holds back the sea.
