Portsmouth

By the ancient walls of Portsmouth’s historic harbour,
Where the Spinnaker Tower pierces a grey‑blue sky,
The scent of salty tide mingles with gun‑smoke memory,
And HMS Victory rests, a steadfast sentinel of the fleet.

Cobblestone streets echo with sailors’ boots and market chatter,
While the Solent whispers tales of daring voyages and quiet courage.
Here, past and present sail together—
A city forged in steel, sea, and enduring British spirit.
