The Ekphrastic Review
Er, sorry; me again. But this is the last thing for September, so I'll be quiet for a while!
My poem at the Review is here, https://www.ekphrastic.net/ Anyone wishing to view will need to scroll down a bit, as the top item on the blog is now a sex contest, lol. But after that, there's my demure little sonnet titled 'Cathedral', inspired by a sculpture in the Forest of Dean and with a photo provided by my younger brother (UK).
Said younger brother is extraordinarily talented in my view, but he's also very modest. A few of his photos are here, https://flickr.com/photos/142904908@N08.
Best wishes,
Leaf
PS: I might enter the sex contest! And it's still reading month at TER, so quite a lot to do

Cheers, mac!
And thanks for that link; I wanted to send the poem to various family members yesterday, but I wasn't sure what they'd make of the contest, lol. Glad you agree with the sentiment, also that A's work gets a thumbs up! He goes on a lot of walks and bike rides around the Cotswolds, making the most of photo opportunities

Hi!
Amazing news: Lorette at TER emailed earlier today to let me know I'm a finalist in the Ekphrastic Sex Contest, for one of the poems I submitted. Three flash fiction pieces and nine poems have been shortlisted. The funny thing is, my poem is one I wrote very close to the deadline and it's free verse, but perhaps that makes sense, on some level. Anyway, thanks to everyone here who helped workshop a few of the earlier offerings, as I'm sure that led to my finding my focus. I'm really looking forward to reading the other finalists' work
Best wishes,

Fab news Fliss. Totally intrigued. Great that your talents are being recognized in both the formal and informal mediums. I agree focus can come through writing in either medium and there can be a conversation between the two.
all the best

There's some amazing stuff there; I'm not going to win. But I'm pleased to have made it so far in the contest. Thanks, PAT

Yay! Thanks, MacPhil. I wrote this one quite a long time ago. I have a big Word doc strewn with all the old stuff; I think of it as my salvage yard. I'm glad you liked the refrain and 'warrior roar', a bit of a highlight for me too! Thanks for your kind words
Ah, drinking again! Well, why not
