A copper plated Poseidon stands testament to the immortality of the Gods. <br />Water runs smooth shivers down his spine. Black swans soaked in morning <br />Dew drift upon the wings of one another nearby. Close to the scene stands a memorial <br />To all those souls sent to the slaughter of the Somme. A church stands, <br />Un-forgiving in grandeur, concave mirrors flip reality upon the slip side.<br /><br />David Lacey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-copper-plated-poseidon/
