Ekphrastic, Do You See? (previews to my upcoming book of poetry to illustrate art contd.)

By V. Shruti Devi (quill-o-the-wisp)

There twirl toddlers

in party frocks

Balloons, festoons,

pastel icing

Helixes swirl,

Modern-day jukeboxes

Create waves,

Occupy the air

Mosquitos hum

Blithe, light marshmallows

Mini dervishes,

atomic energy

Flouncy, cloud-like, intangible

Ekphrastics be fantastic

-Do we cater to accessibility?

Tactile, audible,

Braille-book tracks

-Read the confetti
