Cygne Poem by Douglas Scotney
Cygne
I'm not so sorry for the swan
that English makes it,
so easily,
the devil's companion and mount;
overlooks 'agnostic' and 'ignite';
only sees 'gnu' and 'reign in';
sees 'swan' in French
and says 'sin'.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
cygne = french for 'swan'.
Of surprise to who have been attacked, in human eyes the swan's grace and beauty have long presided over its temper.
