My First Ekphrastic
I know you are a tree
growing out of the Earth
which is shaped like a heart.
But all I see
is a penis
and two hands cupping
the largest balls
I’ve ever seen.

When I saw that painting, I saw the same thing and I chuckled. Great fun your poem is!
Bronson! I love it! I’m a huge fan of ekphrastic poetry! Good for you. This is hilarious.
