An example of Ekphrasis, I hope. A poem inspired by this picture.
Yayoi Kusama – Yellow Pumpkin – Naoshima Island, Japan
Pear shaped, but squatter, a thick bent stem
Incongruous, decorous, swollen bellied fruit
or veg, it’s on the edge of the quay
waiting on a navy boat
to set it afloat
into the pristine scene
Seen from the sea seen from the shore
a muckle big pumpkin grown from a bean
dotty spotty, spots galore
giggle down the bright swelling hunkers
Speckledy buoyant reflecting the sky
Heat wave spectrum wiggles upon the vista
The sand blasted base hums to the sea
at peace, a gentle blue sigh
against the dotty, daring roar
Haze on the landscape, ripples oar
Search for urchin pumpkins
Let there be more
