Hello everyone!
This week I decided to expand the focus to art as a whole. If you haven't heard of it yet, "ekphrastic" is a great word, not only when it comes to Scrabble, but for poetry as well. It's an opportunity to mix poetry with another favorite art form, a way of looking at a beloved piece of art in a new, exciting, unimagined way.

Here's the link to the article:
