Friday, November 21st- Ekphrasis

 
The Scream
Edward Munch
He screams.
Screams for the voices in his head to shut up.
He rages for the emotions to stop flowing.
He cries out for someone to hear him in his days of despair and sadness.
He waits, by the shore watching the sunset to clear his mind.
Covers his ears from the sounds going on in his head.
Convincing voices, screaming voices.
While people stand and stare to see what goes on, he pleads and cries out for help.
The stress eats him alive, the voices chew at him.
He hopes that one day it will all end.

  1. I really enjoyed reading this. It is very creative and it is an interesting take on the painting. I also enjoy how you put in the link to learn more about it and a picture of the painting from which you got the inspiration the write this post.
