Ekphrastic poetry based on E. Munch’s
Yellow Log (Theme Challenge)
A fog settles upon the yellow log,Its bark a memory of forest’s edge.
Silent sentinel upon the bog,
Nature’s tale from life to fallen pledge.
The biting wind sings its wailing dirge,
Whose fingers pluck and scrape and snap at time.
A yellow log, the center of the surge,
In Munch’s world, a frozen pantomime.
Once upon a breath so dreary cold,
The banal landscape stripped of life’s embrace.
Yet there, a yellow log, its story told,
A beacon of existence and its grace.
Morning breaks, the golden shafts of dawn,
The yellow log, still steadfast, carries on.
