Swan Swarm 7"x10" watercolour

Skyward thugs brass, crass and rude, insulting, barking and squawking.

Swarming, diving, circling and teasing a gang of gulls harass.

A meal and peace disturbed causing even a royal mute swan to cry out.

Water ripples radiating outward and the moment passes.

Swan Dines 7"x10" watercolour

Snow and ice diamond on simmering blue water.

A sun lit vessel of food is lowered and presented.

Gliding over for a regal inspection the swan eats.

Behind floating a wharf, sea wall, log and tree branch.

Swan Majesty-10"x7" watercolour

There at the mouth of the river as it drains into the basin is a house named Swan.

A quacking crowd parts, with regal measured steps her majesty presents herself.

There were three now one: her mate and off spring drowned, caught in fishing lines.

She is alone now, a swan among ducks, she has splendour and place, Queen.
