"Write an ekphrastic poem.  That is, write a poem based on a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other piece of visual art. "


Just like showering snowflakes
differ, so it is with sunflowers.
From deep chocolate
to brilliant gold, they
superimpose each other's
beauty.  Never still.  Buds
burst open, velvet eyes
expand, and petals push
in every direction.  Commonality
is that all sunflowers lift
their faces toward the sun.
