ekphrasis poem

[souledoutt]

So I wrote an ekphrasis poem (it also sort of a slam poem of sorts) completely based on this prompt over at we_are_cities. I also used heartequals's line "I miss you like you're Earth and I'm ten thousand years away." So, credit to her for that! I'm debating whether or not to post it there since it is a bandom comm. Hm, we'll see.

i had to look up "ekphrasis poem". i am still not sure i get what it means, but! poetry is poetry so does that even matter? i really like this! especially the last few stanzas.

haha, ekphrasis basically means art inspired by other art. or in my case, a poem inspired by a picture (the one in the prompt.) now that i think about it, i guess everything that stems from we_are_cities' prompts are ekphrasis-y in a way.

and thank you!
