Hi all. Here are the images I used to stimulate your Ekphrastic imaginations the other day (what the hell is that say some- but they are the un-initiated ones!) Let them find out here. So if you are keen, willing and able why don’t you post/ copy your ekphrastic poem into THIS Blog [as a comment]…. let’s get a collection of them happening right here under these three stunning images. And remember click twice and thrice to get a close-up of the images themselves:

Hi All!
Here is my attempt at an Ekphrastic. Unfortunately the formatting and colours have been lost in my paste but you can see it at emmadircks.livejournal.com. I think these elements definitely add to it.
Shapes and Colours
of lucid form
Brush strokes swoosh, swarm
form pictures of hue.
Soft and concurrent
is the backdrop for this mess
slender and long strokes
contrast the chaotic foreground spackled with colour
We can see ourselves in this mess
pick apart and dissect
or mix ourselves up again
and be lost in the colour of the landscape

My attempt on Ekphrastic style! =)
I chose the Landscape by John Geleeson to try intertextuality/ekphrastic style.
Her it goes;
Wonderous,
playfull,
green,
peace,
yes peace,
or pieces?
dancing in a flower garden…
swaying,
one, two
cha-cha-cha
shake-shake
arising from the dark,
green, green, green.
flying cloud in the paths
rolling alon the seashore.
crossing, crossing faster…
a sudden
bang-bang
OUCH!
crumbling, crumbling,
touching the sun, the trees
the day light…
swiss…. swiss… swiss.
la la la
purple purple purple
Lavander, yes you are.
twirling,
twirling.
faster faster faster…
Like a Ballerina…
You’re a rollercoaster.
Smile=)
Love, Peace and Respect!
Carpe diem!

My attempt!!
hi everyone, here is my colourful attempt at ekphrastic poetry. The artwork I chose was John Gleeson’s Landscape, enjoy! 🙂
Craze
Circuses of colourful spirals unravel in their beauty,
as the vast atmosphere illuminates an
overwhelming burst;
as colours drown with each other,
as the spiralling playfulness embodies each
manic circle;
as the beast wildly strangles
the purple
the sky
and the madness.
