Turning Back Time In Margate
A journey to the settings of his art
Essence of his inspiration to impart
Travelling as our schedule can accommodate
Emotionally travelling back in time to appreciate
Would the man himself recognise the views?
If he perhaps stood here now, wearing our shoes
Genius of two centuries past, legacy living on
The prize named after him, this artistic paragon
Wandering and wondering continued our artistic quest
Finally overlooking Margate seafront, we linger to rest
And it happens, we look at one another, happy tears we cry
Laid out before us, the view he saw, and above a Turner sky
