A Scannell Ekphrasis Recited

He lived and loved,then
sharpened a pen,opening
wide his heart and life for
all to see,his legacy in
structured prose & poetry.
But there was more, in store,
his past dug up from memory,
a personal perspective forever
revealed in four tomes of biography.

Ekphrasis tribute to the English poet Vernon Scannell(aka Bain) 1922-2007

Listen to me read this tribute ekphrasis on youtube under pen name ichthychiro
