This was about a red color--paint sample--called Tropical Heat. Assignment was to write about the color in an ekphrastic ? way. I saw the name (on the back) after I wrote about it.
Well, I dunno what the heck ekphrastic is, but it's a grand response to an interesting assignment. I'll have to get my collection of colour charts out and have a go.
Lovely, intriguing poem with a brilliant closing stanza.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jonathan! Reading Larry Levis.
