PYGMALION
Pygmalion, who was a sculptor, and of Cyprus, the king,
A female statue, out of ivory, did bring
The lady he had sculptured was his ideal
He’d done it so skilfully, it looked so real
But Pygmalion’s creation was his own undoing
As a consequence of his love for her ensuing
To the goddess Aphrodite Pygmalion prayed,
To perform a miracle, her to persuade,
Aphrodite did so, and gave the statue life;
So Pygmalion’s creation became his wife!
Based on both fact and fiction, this unique collection of poetry is ideal for lovers of light-hearted, fun poetry and can be read intermittently at the reader’s leisure.
