The Swan Queen
A Poem Inspired by 'The Wild Swans' by Elenore Plaisted Abbott, 1922
Introduction
I love this painting shared by The Enchanted Booklet on Facebook here
This is a freeform poem consisting of tercets with five-syllable lines, without deliberate rhymes. I was looking for a more formal construct, but this fell into place, and so I thought I would leave it as is.
The music is "Queen of Swans" by Mercury Rev

When Amazon Says You’re a Disappointment
Yesterday, for the first Wednesday in months, I didn’t publish a piece on Vocal. Believe me, I wanted to. I had it all written up and ready to go. I was going to share the news that I had officially become a published author.
