Too Trendy
by Debra White

I love Ekphrastic poems :)

I like the picture of zebras.

The rhymes do not seem forced and your poem flows well. It draws upon emotions and it presents strong images.

Ha ha ha, a magical and inventive write Debra, fine rhymes and I loved the sentiment. The snazzy zebras have amazing coats and I wonder why they are so well designed! Much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Love this, Debra. Reminds me of that Katie Perry song video where she produces a magic zebra to get Alexander to finally commit. My grandkids adored it when they were younger

Thanks for the upbeat write.

Stay safe and blessed

Julia

First of all, congratulations on your recognized writer award for the month - well deserved. I was going to ask if you wrote this geared toward the picture, then read the definition of ekphrastic poetry at the bottom and got my answer. Have to love a creative brain that can look at a simple black and white picture of zebras and come up with such a clever rhyme. Thanks for continuing to inspire us all.

Debra,
This reminds us not to be too attached to fashion. It changes quickly. These poeple are too proud of themselves, it seems. The zebras do look like they are gossiping with each other.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Very well written Debra, I also like to keep things light and simple. If you
have read my poetry, you know what I mean. If I have to read a dictionary
to read a poem, I cannot review it. Your poem is funny and delightful to read.

Cute! A happy verse which well captures the zebra divas stepping out in style! Great example of ekphrastic poetry!

I used to hear that joke: A zebra is a horse designed by a commitee... (Smile)

Looks like these ladies are headed for "Project Runway!"

Love it! Those zebras are all trendsetters heading down to the water cooler for a little chatter.

A fun rhythm and rhyme, and of course they are too grand for just the office veldt.

Much enjoyed. :))

Cute ekphrastic poem for this cute picture! I liked the trendy zebras. I've read that each stripe pattern is completely unique but you could have fooled me!
