It was easy for me to write ekphasis poems in class because I could relate to a lot of them. For example, "Twilight In The Wilderness" reminded me of the time I saw a similar sunset so I just whote about what I felt when I saw it. My poem:
Go back to the day
Of scarlett skies
Singing eulogies
To the fading Sun
Go back to the day
Of scarlett rivers
Reflecting the accolade
Of the Greatest Star
Go back to the day
Of gentle breeze
That kissed your shoulders
When you went to sleep
Listening to the whole great nothing
Of transcendentalism.
I felt like I could also relate to "Crows In The Wheat Field" in a similar way. Generally, I think it's easier to relate to images/paintings of nature because we've all seen beautiful fields and sunsets. No matter when it was or who we spent those moments with, each and every one of us probably has some kind of memory related to nature.
