Julie Stoner wrote suggesting this Funexercise:
"Following your ekphrasis thread over on Musing on Mastery, I'd like to see original ekphrastic poetry from Sphereans--in a light vein, of course--posted on FunExcise.
For the purposes of this exercise I'll define ekphrasis pretty liberally: a poem closely based on a single work of art, which might be a work of visual or performance art or a work of literature.
Suitable poems might provide a plot summary of Mrs. Clinton's new book, or help us experience a live performance of a Grateful Dead song, or replay a television commercial..."
Sounds good to me! Didn't I run across a Stephen Burt "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" sonnet somewhere?
