LONE FIR: An Ekphrastic poem

 

Ekphrastic poetry is a poem written about a work of art, be it painting or photograph.

I wrote this one based on a painting I have that is pictured above.

I hope you enjoy it.

LONE FIR   by Rose Lefebvre ©

 

Anchored to the miniature rocky island,

a solitary fir stands, solo and solemnly sacred,

yet no sadness or desolation is sensed;

Rather reverence, supremacy and authority rule,

as if this is a hopeful, inspiring site.

 

Alone, yet not alone.

 

The sky is brilliance, vivid colors radiate

within it.  It is replete with

life, hope, promise, and splendor,

almost as if a heaven,

if one believes.
