Hello, everyone! Welcome to my blog.
It’s the third week of the month! Time for an Ekphrastic #PhotoPrompt from Colleen Chesebro’s Weekly Poetry Challenge
This challenge explores Ekphrastic writing inspired by visual art (photographs). When you write poetry based on a painting or photograph, we work with symbolism and metaphors. This week, don’t just describe what you see in the image. Check out How to Write Ekphrastic Poetry and apply some of the techniques used in the article to your own poem.
Trent McDonald from last month’s challenge has provided the photo for this month’s challenge:
I’m sharing an Etheree poem today.
Gentle drops, like a myriad of thoughts
gather in streams, tumbling recklessly
down a vagrant course to begin
its journey toward its end,
crashing on moss-strewn rocks
Its song vibrating
deep in the earth
no one can
stop the
flow
Thank you for stopping by!
Hello Vashti! A great poem, and the shape is also corresponding great. Thank you for sharing. I apologize for the long delay. Every day i am roaming the web, and on the evening i somehow lost the direction. Lol I hope you are all well, and able to enjoy a great weekend! All the best! Michael

That’s wonderful, Vashti! I cancelled the trip to Canada. We maybe going to NC to revisit Cape Lookout area. We went to Florida several times, otherwise, we would be going that direction. ❤
