Marble Figurines

[ellajam]

On a stallion rearing,
a humble nun leans, singing
St. Cecilia's hymns.

Hi, river, I like like the image and the mood. For me the size difference between the rearing stallion and the nun does the humbling. The title does some of the heavy lifting, with it you might consider

Against a rearing stallion
a nun leans — singing
St. Cecilia's hymns.

or without the title you could

A marble stallion rears,
a nun leans against him
singing St. Cecilia's hymns.

or something like that.

The rearing stallion made me think of St. George although I know little about him and a google of St. Cecilia's hymns was pleasant reading. I may be missing some bigger picture here but I still I'm enjoying the poem without any of that.
