My Ekphrasic response is a simple Haiku. The words came easily when I focused on the motion in the photo. Perhaps you'd like to submit one too? I'd love to read it.
Hope you have a great week!
Hello friends! It's Tanka Tuesday and author Colleen Chesebro provides us with another prompt. Because it is the third week of the month, fledging poets like me are asked to write an Ekphrastic poem - a poem written in response to an image. Writer Trent MacDonald supplied the above photo.
My Ekphrasic response is a simple Haiku. The words came easily when I focused on the motion in the photo. Perhaps you'd like to submit one too? I'd love to read it. Hope you have a great week!
