Strolling in to this mystifying wonder
Attentively waiting for thy psychic’s blunder
Anticipating riches, prosperity, and devotion
Willing to guzzle any rank of love potion
Clairvoyant of my future she seems to be
Suddenly she begins to declare to me
Napoleon, king of all revolutionary troops
Determines it is I whom he swoops
Exhilarate of my new found love
Resembles exactly what dreams are made of
Content with thy prophets reply
Napoleon has captivated my eye
Learning about ekphrastic poems in Ms. Patrick’s English class has definitely evolved into a new hobby for me because I feel these poems allow the public to receive a new internal perspective from famous artwork. My writing process was really quick since I was already sure of what image I wanted to choose, and actually constructing this poem only took me about 30 minutes. Literary devices I decided to utilize was rhythm because it adds a sort of tone to my work. I decided to construct my essay from beginning to end, including what the character hoped for and what her results were.
