Hidden Narratives An Ekphrasis

HIDDEN NARRATIVES -an Ekphrasis A romantic,wistful view of the past in the music of colour,veiled by meaningful shadows. Enigmatic roads to nowhere, old footprints in the sand, a longing for yesterday..today. Remains of love, moments in time in that perfect world of nostalgia.Stylistic short stories in paint... in ..hidden narratives. Ekphrasis tribute to and inspired by the art of Jack Vettriano (the 'Scottish' Edward Hopper in my opinion) You may hear me recite this and most of my PS poetry on youtube under the pen name ichthyschiro

I remember well, all the Ekphrasis contests that you first introduced me to. First one I ever wrote, was because of your challenge. You have the golden pen I see, still able to express what the artist sees. Nicely done!
