Brian Strand

With a vast love for the worlds,
  Art, music, and poetry.
His active heart devours,
  All ekphrasis poetry.

For some of his writings and art,
  Grace the pages of magazines.
With many forms of print,
  Largely online publishing’s.

For he is an outlaw poet,
  Who writes his heart away.
Educating other artists,
  Through the night and day.

Motivated by Ephesians 2:10,
  “Each of us are God’s work of art.”
Helping others realize their artistic gifts, 
  Brings an enormous joy to his heart. 

Thank you Sir for blessing us,
  With the mastered art of shorthand.
For the world will always know,
  Buckinghamshire’s Brian Strand.
