Words an illustrations join together to form a perfect picture. Your poetic skills are clearly on point. So much so, that even without the illustration I would still manage from your words alone, to get the picture.

Hi there,
Thank you for sharing this lovely poem. Could you possibly post the poetic form for the Exphrastic poem? I think I want to try this one.
The artwork you chose for this piece was lovely.

    Hi Patty! This was an entry for the Japanese poetry club. The prompt was to poetically describe the photo using just 15 words. :)

Lovely! Pure, simple words that evoke such vivid images! "Ekphrastik" is such a harsh --even weird-sounding, isn't it?--- word for such a LOVELY form of poetry. You've made it into something especially excellent. xo

    Hahah you crack me up. And you're RIGHT! Luckily, I can type it as if I know how to pronounce it. I'm sure I?d butcher that. lol
    Thank you, my friend! Xoxo

Hi Jessica,
I really enjoyed your ethereal poem about the light and the effect it had shining on a lake. The moon, bluish in your description, makes its way into your Ekphrastic poem.

Have a great week ahead,
Rhonda

Hi Jessica, Love your expressive colorful words! You painted a beautiful image for the mind's eye to wander in. Imagery is wonderful! I think the image you chose fit your poem to a 'T"! Just had to give you six stars!

Your words capture the beauty of the moon and it is like the moon is a live character that appears at night. Love the line "glides on a glowing lake". It is as the moon is in motion. Excellent poetic form here that paints a picture.

Hi Jessica,
This poem answers the club prompt well. It is a strong use of personification of both the lake and the moon.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Joan
