I am inspired today by a post by Richard Peabody, editor of Gargoyle Magazine, who regularly posts unusual and fascinating images on his facebook page. The longer I moved through my day, the more I found myself pleasantly haunted by George Leonnec’s “Centaur Kiss”

For day eight’s prompt, let’s write an ekphrastic poem in which you reflect on Leonnec’s image and describe or narrate it adding more dimension to the work. Check out the image via the link and write a poem inspired by it. For a full definition of ekphrastic poem, click on the link above.

Happy writing!
