A poem...

I suppose it's about time I posted something poetry related...

I love to find images to couple my poetry with. I think, providing I find the right image, that it really enhances the meaning of the poem so if the reader doesn't immediately 'get' what I'm writing about, they can usually decipher the intent behind the words from the image.

I'm not doing it solely for readers of my poetry though, I just like the way my words 'look' with the right picture.

I stumbled across this image recently, entitled 'Sebastiana' by Stephen Hender and immediately wanted to use it for a poem I wrote in 2004!
