An Ekphrastic Correspondence

Oh, Alisaka,

That I could rise to the heights of your cranes. But I am earthbound, and my words can only marvel at your deft brushstrokes.

mountain mists

fledglings at their mother’s side

for so many years

this relic of college days

still hanging

    Love how you worked the two prompts together. I haven’t checked out the Writer’s Digest prompt yet, but if you worked it in as well, I’ll be triply impressed.

    Perfection in brevity; 44 magical words, incredible painting. It feel all Zen and marvelously meta-physical.
