Original poem.
Ekphrastic poetry is inspired by existing art. Here I combine art, words and music. BLACKBERRIES From the blood of the Titans, black
magic wrapped in thicket, your sweet
dark pearls spill, segmented as seeds,
blood of remorse, and healing sac. Fairies await our coming back
to drink your juice of earth-spice wine,
stain our mouths, worship at the shrine
of thorns. Each pearl a universe.
Each mouthful a renewal source.
A black third eye to enlighten. ©elsp 2026

all the words – zest, tang, tart, sweet, crisp, clean, fresh

be alive, my loved ones, be alive"

HOMESTEAD BY THE SEA More than sixty years before

HOMESTEAD BY THE SEA More than sixty years before the homestead
witnessed seven thousand ships on its sea
and troops landing to liberate, troops dead,
it crouched behind pear-shaped haystacks, daily
watching a farmer between wars. And he,
revered the peach haze, his quiet cliff life,
the broody skies, wildflowers, the wildlife,
self-sufficient despite the homestead’s size.
He dug potatoes for his Normand wife
to cube and fry; fields yet to agonise. ©elsp2026 www.stewedpears.com/homestead-by-the-sea-a-poem #poem #poetry #ekphrasticpoetry #poetsofinstagram #poetryisnotdead #originalpoem

THE WIFE OF ROBERT GORDON Despite
a calm visage,
lips pursed, dulled eyes, Frances –
with silver, children, landscapes – feels
alone. ©elsp 2025 #poem #poetry #ekphrasticpoetry #art

ENTWINED Imbued with sweetness – red passionflowe

ENTWINED Imbued with sweetness – red
passionflower. The hummingbird
rests, and listens. Humming overheard,
imbued with sweetness. Red passionflower. The hummingbird,
by shimmers of purple and green,
deflects from the beauty of jewelled seeds’
passionflower. The hummingbird, by shimmers of purple and green,
fans the passionflower’s red feather
dress, a corona caress, outdone however –
by shimmers of purple and green fans. The passionflower’s red feather
petals welcome her tiny visitor – humming,
collecting nectar, insects – succumbing
fans. The passionflower’s red feather, imbued with sweetness – red
passionflower. The hummingbird
rests, and listens. Humming overheard.
Imbued with sweetness. Red. ©elsp 2025 www.stewedpears.com/entwined-a-poem #poetry #poem #art #food #passionflower #humminbird #ekphrasticpoetry

THE HARVESTERS
In August harvest, in the heat of the day
shade was scarce. We shared our rye bread and drank beer
flavoured with herb gruit. We savoured the way
a pottage of carrots and turnips appeared
a feast with salted meat or herring. We lay
replete, as the wheat was reaped and gathered near-
by, to be taken by cart to town. Like hay,
our skins dried and browned. Some of us lived freer,
swimming unclothed, in the pond. And at end day
we went home to eat porridge, fish, bread and beer. ©elsp 2025

Is it the sound of the waves, or the pull of the tides, or the blue of the sky and ocean that draws us to the sea? What makes eating by the sea so special? Poem extracts from "Sea-Hoardings" by Cale Young Rice

We eat first with our eyes. And of all foods, surely the noodle is the most eye-edible?
