Standing in reverence of a mighty giant

his Nobel words remembered, this fan notes

 

exaggerated bat-like shoulders enhance his

thoughtful gaze - watching the Horseman?

 

Others have stepped up on Galway stone; held

those long, thin legs as they balance, head bent

 

to leave a lipstick imprint of their awe for him

on the space his left hand nonchalantly indicates...

I couldn't help but notice - it was my eye level!  Doesn't show up too well in the photo, though.  

Bit of fun - glad you appreciated it.  wink

Love this idea.

Shame you can't get a larger version of the photo - you'd clearly see the lipstick.  

I often write to art or photos inspire me.  Thanks for reading and commenting, Philip.

I love your photo - sets the poem off perfectly - for height. Made me smile.

As I said, you can't see the photo bigger (unless you acces the photo through my blog entry:  https://francesmacaulayforde.wordpress.com/2015/03/10/begorrathon-tempti... ) and the reality.

Thanks for reading - glad it made you smile, Bee.
