PAD 9 Exphrasic

For today’s prompt, write an ekphrastic poem. An ekphrastic poem is one that’s inspired by a work of art, whether that’s a painting, photograph, sculpture, or some other creation. I’ve included five ekphrastic prompts below. Look them over and choose one (or more) to prompt your poem today.


Abstract

I suppose I need now
to find something in the void

To call that something a name
To give it an edge

for the void around to become the void around

what is there
in a color field

it is not here/there forever
it has/has had a name

look it in its face
if it has one.

say something about existence
other than

everything/we all are in a field
of constant change.
