Name:
Location: SULLY, Vale of Glamorgan, United Kingdom

I have worked as a professional artist and poet for many years and often exhibit a related mix of poems, short stories and paintings.Main subjects are industrial images and townscapes. Much of my work is dislplayed on a range of blogs.It is simply a matter of pictures by paint and pictures by word. I see little difference between one medium and the other.

Leda and the Swan

Olympia’s false swan is intent.
His lascivious

Frame bears a blaze of anticipation.
His fall from heavenly heights

Takes him earthbound to Leda’s side.
She stiffens

As the night air bleeds
Beneath his feathery beating.

Her nakedness seems to sigh
With a shiver of exhaustion.

He enfolds, then absorbs her
In the privacy of his avian alcove,

And she, resisting no longer, submits
To fulfil the illusion of a mythical decree.
