Ekphrasis<\/a> is a description of a work of visual art produced as a rhetorical or literary exercise. This ekphratic poem is about the classically unassuming (“unentitled”) still life painting of a bowl of fruit. Since this type of painting is painted so often I picked a seemingly random high number, 247, which also doubles as a pun for 24\/7, adding to its ever presence. Also, I have found listing a work of art as “Untitled” as an oddly pretentious, and perhaps lazily uncreative practice, so I chose “unentitled” as a pun for “untitled.” I suspect some artists consider any title as inadequate given the ineffable nature of art, and some artists may just produce so much art that they don’t want to bother naming every work. Regardless, this poem is a testament to awe of the countless artworks, whether hanging on walls or stored in some nameless place perhaps waiting to be discovered.<\/p>\n

Unentitled Ekphrasis 247<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To some pedestrian eyes
\nIt may seem square
\nTo others a bit fruity
\nColors embraced by light and shadow
\nForms canvassing adore
\nEntreating those who ponder within
\nThis study
\nFor whosever
\nBe gotten
\nAppreciates allot
\nEven thou
\nAwe be it
\nFramed and hung
\nMany years ago
\nRemains
\nStill life<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
