Ekprhasis Notes
The Ekprhasis is more about the content of the poem than specific rhyme and meter stylistics. It is poetry written on and/or about other pieces of art
Example
Majestic Gaze by Jez Farmer
Poised, an Arcadian goddess
Adorned in luxury and style
Beauty bursting from her bodice
Artist entranced within a smile
Outside, a returning empire
Restoring imperial days
As paint captures her eyes of fire
Caught within her majestic gaze
Reflections of money and wealth
We’d say a sugar-daddy’s bride
Such beauty could never be stealth
When worn with grace and elegant pride
But love cares not about time and age
And works in mysterious ways
So perhaps our eyes should engage
Caught within her majestic gaze

Form: Ivorian Sonnet 77
