Challenge:� Write an ekprhrastic poem

Simply put, an ekphrastic poem (these days) is a poem based on a work
of art.
Write a poem based on a photograph, painting, sculpture, piece of
music, etc.

http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/19939 Notes on ekphrasis

I wrote a poem a couple of years ago, when this was assigned in an
online
writers' group, based on one of Eric Fischl's paintings from his Krefeld >>> Project. We were specifically assigned this artist.

We are everything

in the dream: ignored blooms tilt
by design away from a pink sky, away
from the leggy blond's mysteries.

My truth and beauty lose to guilt.

Hand on his bathrobe, a shutter away
from concealing or revealing, he bares
fruit as afterthought, a pacifier.

I want freedom from desire.

There is no black like the soot of dreams
and modern art. Only perverse hues resist
my pull. I am the greedy mouth here.

Then who is the one who screams?

You don't know it yet, auditor
of reality: I am the dealer in
your mind, offering you a hand:

Take. Wake. Escape.

Karla

I plan on writing a new one for this challenge (in case Sherrie Lee is
wondering
:) )



We were just joking around a little bit that night, you sure are
obsessed about it, I noticed.

Hey dipshit, you're responding to a post from 2009
and whining about being obsessed.

I see that.

A JLA Forums glitch of some kind.

A web-tard glitch, so the subject is "challenge" post from Eternal now
and prove you can, or be caught in another lie.
