I'd choose the USPS "Liberty Bell" stamp for an ekphrasis poem. Here's the poem: In copper curves, the Liberty Bell's tale, A symbol etched in history's hallowed gale, On this small stamp, its lines tell a story grand, Of freedom's voice, in a nation's promised land. The crack that speaks of time and trials past, Echoes whispers of liberty that will...

Time was a man was known for what he did Or didn’t do Did you stand for the flag Did you fight for the Red, White, and Blue? Did you keep it real? Say what you feel?

Do not mistake silence for peace, nor obedience for order. A chained heart can smile, but it does not sing. There is a flame born in every soul— not to burn, but to become a lantern. To lead. To warm. To remember the path home. Freedom is not permission. It is not granted by paper or throne. It is the breath between thoughts, the courage to speak when...

I step out to face the night, shielded like a medieval knight; and count my victories boldly won, need not count far for that is one; drag my fingers roughly through my hair, and stumble on the bones of some lost hare; never to remember peace, but lose myself a bit a piece; life never...

My pen is mourning the agonies and the sufferings Of my people, who are drowning in the sea of misery. My keyboard' strokes are shadowing the slow rhythms Of the wandering beggar, who's lost in the sanctuary. My voice denounces the filthy cholera and the injustices, Which are punishing the weakest souls of the valley. A tiny oligarchy is meagerly being...
