Inspired by ekphrastic poetry class with John Sibley Williams. Also linking to dVerse poets where Kim asks us to respond to classical piece, Adagio for Strings, by Samuel Barber. I think the phrasing of music and poetry fit together to interpret the painting.

I like how you’ve used short phrasing which offers great impact for the images you’ve created and as I read this, wonderful read Lynn.

Great shape and form, Lynn, and use of juxtaposition. The imagery is so evocative and reflects the music.

Thanks for a wonderful choice of music, Kim! I’m pleasantly surprised how well all three art forms mesh 🙂

The pull of oppositions that stand side by side, less powerful without the presence of the other, perfectly displayed in your poem layout – enjoyed your interpretation Lynn

Lynn this brilliantly contrasts stark imagery of decay with delicate elements of renewal – a hauntingly exploration of the cycle between life and death 🩷
