Hello Scott,
This is a very interesting development from the poem I posted. You´ve certainly taken the idea into a completely new path.
Best wishes, Mike

Catherine Commissions A Statue
We shall make us a poet,
by our devine Will
command a cast of inspiration
in bronze for the Emperor of stone.
We have one hand on the crest
the other on the triple cross
and a third hand on the pane,
open window facing west.
The people, a firebird,
plural like stars with broken light
are commanded to adore
the works forged from boreal bogs
by the Horseman.
Let him rear up
and the mighty will despair.
June 12, 2003
**inspired by Mike Horwood's "The Bronze Horseman", a wonderful poem, but one with a mixed message to anyone familiar with the history of this particular work of art.
