Description:

Ekphrasis is a cool type of poem. It's a poem written based on a piece of art.

For this swap, you will have one partner. You will email a link to a piece of art you like to your partner. Your partner will write a poem based on that piece of art and send it to you via snail mail.

There are no form requirements, no length requirements. It doesn't have to rhyme. Basically, a free verse poem.

Alternate option: I can set the same piece of art for all poems OR I can send a link to a separate piece of art to each person. Let me know what your preference is in the comments!

Your first idea appeals to me most -- if I chose the piece of art -- and there are many pieces of art I love and that surely are findable on the web -- I will have deeper connection and a more honest poem.

I agree with junemoon, and it also makes a connection between the swappers.

My apologies! This is the way we'll do the swap. Sorry for not responding earlier. I didn't notice the comments when I went to assign swap partners!

OK sunny - I'm waiting for your fav piece of art!
