"For today’s prompt, write an ekphrastic poem. An ekphrastic poem is one that’s inspired by a work of art, whether that’s a painting, photograph, sculpture, or some other creation. I’ve included five ekphrastic prompts below. Look them over and choose one (or more) to prompt your poem today. - prompt taken from Writers Digest website." We were given five pictures to consider or we could choose one of own. I did not post the five pictures but I went with their hourglass example.
“Hourglass”
(Tanka)
In silence, you count
Oh elegant hourglass
The sand’s almost gone
One more grain, one more sweet grain
May I have just one last grain?
