Have An Ekphrastic Day! In the garden of England with springtime arriving on cue where my wallflowers flower twixt yellow and vermillion next scented rose petals magenta through pink to white while red admirals flutter en pursuit of their runway as twin yellow-banded thorax bumble intent on pollen to paint a long-awaited arrival of warmth and light when The Ekphrastic Review tote, black and tactile arrived from some Port Authority supplied by Zazzle of America with capacity capable of transporting page upon page of blank verse, sonnets, haiku, prose and their ilk while on the front of the tote, an image that screams loud of that typewriter I owned many decades ago on which I crafted my first words of pseudo iambic pentameter where meter was everything and rhyming de rigueur for hour after hour developing my craft, or perhaps not as I yearn for my yesterdays, moments, my dreams recalling spasmodically, re-remembering ad nausea being grateful for waking up at five every morning rather than the alternative but in the meantime I will Have An Ekphrastic Day! - so commandeth the tote.
