EKPHRASTIC CHALLENGE

Ekphrastic Poetry:
Ekphrastic poetry has come to be defined as poems written about works of art; however, in ancient Greece, the terms ekphrasis was applied to the skill of describing a thing with vivid detail. One of the earliest examples of ekphrasis can be found in Homer's epic The Iliad..."

DETAILS:
Congrats to the artists who participated in the Fevers of the Mind (FOTM) Ekphrastic Poetry Challenge. Each artist had less than a week to jot down a poem and submit it to David O'Nan for consideration. FOTM EIC David O'Nan challenged artists to respond to a scene I photographed while on holiday in Moloka'i. This photo "Lone Road to the Island of Moloka'i" was included at the FOTM website and has works in several anthology titles, edited by David O'Nan and HilLesha O'Nan, available on Amazon.  Here is a sampling:

This art inspiration awakening the mysteries of ocean lore. I am so thankful to David for the invitation to collaborate again on a project. 
CONCLUSION:
Be sure to follow each of the artists and keep up to date with Fevers of the Mind for new art inspiration, Quick 9 Interviews, and art challenges. Hint: David is a very giving artist and invites collaboration often.
