Refreshingly Yours

(I wrote my ekphrastic poem towards the prompt as an Etheree, a poem of 10 lines, the first line with one and the tenth one with ten syllables with an incremental of one syllable after each line)

found you,

after ages,

same pungent scent,

same willowy frame,

same insouciant walk,

with confident and firm gaze,

ignoring subtle emotions,

in lieu of responsibilities,

do you still remember this very place?

Good evening and see you next time.

Write your poem using a syllabic form from the cheat sheet or from the poetscollective.org/poetryforms. Here is more information on how to write an Ekphrastic poem: How Do You Write an Ekphrastic Poem.

“Ekphrastic poems exist to respond to a piece of art critically, analytically, and reverentially.”
