The Daily Poem: Day 4 - Terror Approaches
Terror Approaches:
The Scream, 1893 by Edvard Munch
He stands on the bridge,
his hands holding his face,
eyes wide--
terrified by what--
he screams.
Behind him
two people walk:
either toward or away
from him.
Water flows under the bridge,
and the are distant
boats sailing.
The red-orange sky
indicates its either sunset or dawn:
it doesn't matter which
because his eyes and fear are focused
on the terror that is
approaching him.
Maybe he is looking
into the Twentieth Century
and the destruction
of two World Wars.

PROMPT: EKPHRASIS Basically, ekphrasis is taking a piece of art and narrating a vivid description about what's going on. That's it. Really.Since this may be new to some of you, there is only one requirement: please either link to the artwork for me, or include an author's note stating the artist and name of the piece.
