My poem “(at the) end of the day” was among those chosen to accompany the painting “Fin de la Jornada”, by Emilio Boggio, at The Ekphrastic Review. You can see the artwork and read it, along with Merril Smith’s prose poem “Chromatic Scales” and the rest of those selected, here.
My thanks once again to editor Lorette C. Luzajic, and guest editor Janette Schafer, for supporting my work and the interaction between the visual and written arts.
I really liked your poem–that repetition is so effective. And is there such a think as ekphrastic art–because your painting seems to be that.

Thanks Merril. I have always used other artists as inspiration, and why not call it Ekphrastic too? And give credit, which too many fail to do.
You know how I like repetition…

There’s a momentum in this, carried by the repetition, and a feeling of impending doom. I think we were on the same wavelength with this one. I liked the painting and your artwork captures the same sense of colour.

Thanks Jane. The painting has a lot of both color and depth.
The light and the dark and everything in between…it’s hard to find our way through it.

Some of us have a choice of route. Others don’t. I saw a lot of sadness in the painting, the trudging through darkness.

How do we carry on when there are no answers, other than what we tell ourselves. Well done, Kerfe. Congratulations.
