Siren

You are formed of the wind That bears your name In the breathless hollows Of the gale I hear your song Like a Siren culled From an ancient storm It calls to me And I am loathe To turn away And from you flee

It's an ekphrasis of Nocturne by Chopin. Recently in the last week or so (that may be 60 poems ago) Not sure if links work https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/nocturne_op9_no1_interpreted_as_the_sirens_call_1530710 enjoy!

Got it! Good poem. And now I know what an Ekphrasis poem is. Neat -

Nice one John! Funny I did Siren's Call which is sort of like an extended version of this :)

Glad you liked it! I couldn't find your Siren's Call, though - when did you write it?

Love this one. There was a tv series on them. It did not get renewed though.
