Ekphrasis is generally a writing that comments upon another art form in which one medium of art tries to relate to another medium by defining and describing its essence and form.Ekphrasis comes from the Greek words ek ('out') and phrasis ('speak') which literally translates to " speak out " Its like verbal recreation or description of a work, say like a poem about a photograph or a novel about a film.
According to Wikipedia, Ekphrasis or ecphrasis is the graphic, often dramatic description of a visual work of art.
Examples:
1.The distorted faces in a crowd in a painting depicting an original work of art
2. A film showing particularly dark aspects of neo-Gothic architecture
When writing this post, I do find some connection of Ekphrasis in Magpie Tales where we are invited to write a poem about a photograph ,is'nt it? an ekphrasis poetry ! Well,now here I'm to reproduce a poem about a Song (one selected among the three) as a prompt from NaPoWriMo Day6. The letter " G" takes the form of "GO GAGA" meaning "Go Insane /Crazy " for April's A to Z Challenge .I hereby combine both the above Challenges for my "The Whispering Tree ".
Prompt : Lady Gaga’s countrified version of Born This Way.
My Ekphrasis version of Poetry : GO GAGA! with my own interpretation.I tried to construct a Ekphrasis Poetry ,a Rondel using iambs tetrameter .
GO GAGA!
Go Gaga ! Free yourself and fight
For you are born that way..a queen
Her mom, made her see the unseen
As she was looking for some light
We are not born to rule the might
Besides, rule ourself ever green
Go Gaga ! Free yourself and fight
For you are born that way..a queen
Whatever comes to be your plight
Do Never tend to cry in pain
Carry on , live your life 'Oh Queen
You got choice to be yourself,Right?
Go Gaga ! Free yourself and fight
