A Soutar Ekphrasis Recited

A SOUTAR EKPHRASIS
In dialect and lyric William’s
poetry soon found fame.
Whims and fanciful notions
these  whigmaleerie were known.
Less popular yet, equally unique
verse in English, oh so terse. This
genre , American cinquain consolidated 
a reputation,once again.

Tribute to William Soutar 1898-1943
