Thrice Captured
Serendipitous,
this
timely,
divine
Summer
escapee, slipped free
anticipating
autumn
Freefall
flight suspended,
caught,
confined, quiescent
arrested by arachnid’s craft (nature’s design)
then plucked,
preserved in picture (yours)
and captured
in words
(mine)
Another ekphrastic poem -- inspired by the photo here taken by a good friend of mine who threw up the challenge: "Write a poem for this!"
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy! :-)
It's a beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is, Dana! I'll be sure to pass on your compliments to the photographer. Thanks!
DeleteThanks for sending me the link. This photo is beautiful and the accompanying words fit perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda! A lovely compliment -- as the pic is perfect! :-)
DeletePam, this is perfect! You have a real affinity (I know you didn't take this photo, but you seem to attract them as well) for great photos :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the poem--Summer escapee, slipped free...Nice!
Awww... thanks, Sara! I DO love this photo. Glad everyone's enjoying it. :-)
DeleteI remember this one vividly. I wonder why I didn't comment...hmmmm.
ReplyDeleteI'm about to be a "summer escapee" myself, so I double love it this time around. ;)
LOL Glad it was memorable. No need to apologize for not commenting. There's no keeping up with all the reading & commenting, and if you're writing -- that's more important. Thanks for the kind words this time around. :-)
DeleteThis is an astounding capture!! Didn't realize at first till I reread and found this, " arrested by arachnid’s craft" the stunt revealed! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteTHANK you, Hannah! Wonderful photo -- isn't it?? <3 It was taken by the same friend (Rolande Duprey) who created the video for "Poems Should Not Sleep". :-)
