Sweet songbird - a poem by Chris Zachariou

The horrific death of migratory birds in Cyprus

Sweet songbird of Saranti
look at the purples in the hills
see the vines on their slopes
with red and white grapes.

Winter tales - a poem by Chris Zachariou

Pirates Gambling for Maidens

I.

An icy North Wind sailing

on green and purple seas

whips and mauls the land.

The frozen peaks

of the Anatolian Mountains

tower in the distance

and the Moor is howling

in the Devil's Sea.
