Kim Rodrigues Poet Ekphrasis

Backface

what face? his back
we face
an umbrella  in space
a splotchy coat embrace
striped pants

dark yellow and orange canopy
his countenance red hat  you see

atmospheric happiness
of blue powder, lavender and pink

quintessential canvas
of Peter Max
pop artistry
   j   a     z z

if it’s raining
   it’s    raining

J          O         Y

Nancy Kaufman September 4, 2022 at 11:21 AM It had to be a challenging write?? Hope you do well in the contest. I'm not diverse enough for that kind of thing. Kim Rodrigues September 4, 2022 at 2:08 PM Thank you :)

Bill Baker September 2, 2022 at 4:24 PM An unusual form to read, Kim. I had to check the definition to know what I was looking for, but found a well written Ekphrasis. The imagery showed the scene well. Good luck in the contest! A poet friend in Texas, Bill Kim Rodrigues September 2, 2022 at 5:04 PM Hope Brian likes this one! He loves art and ekphrasis! Thank you, Bill!
