Pyramids
Pyramids pasted on board with
Pharaohs planning escape
Images of Ancient Egypt
Inspired by geometric shapes
Colours setting their space in a
Coagulation cascade
Triangles crossing tramlines in a
Theatrical backdrop parade
Undulating rhythms rocking in
Underground waves of
Rouge and denim washes
Rudiments of jazz and rave
Ecstatic with rhythm in time
Ekphrastic awash with colour and rhyme
Mike O'Leary - May 2020
An ekphrastic poem written for a collection published by Dionne Hood.
