Circumstances Of Creation Comments

I enjoy reading Ekphrasis and challenging myself to write this form. Its so fun. Your poem, and ode to Ekphrasis inserts a bit of instruction, humor, and art to these combined arts. Love it. Thanks for sharing Marianne- Loved that closing couplet.

Put the cart before the horse That's the work of man, a common error!

Such a daring poem to pen. Which came first, you bravely ask: Words create images; Images create Words. I enjoyed this romp through art camps. Now you have sculptors demanding equal time and the orchestra is warming up in the pit! Marianne, you brave so many different themes and lead your readers through many assorted fields- -thank you! ! !

Intriguing contemplation artistically rendered here. Enjoyable and engaging, Marianne. A privilege to read and ponder this morning. Thank you. :)

Painter inspires the poet, right

Ekphrasis is a literary description or commentary on a visual work of art, or in contemporary form, can be done backwards, from poem to painting or as in my case, a combination of both.
