pale bodies
of ice floating in dark seas

An ekphrastic poem is one in response to a work of art. This haiku is a response to “Berg,” a painting by Jamie Wyeth in his current show at the Farnsworth Art Museum: “Untoward Occurrences and Other Things.”

NB: Haiku are not supposed to have titles; a title is seen as a “fourth line,” an over-explanatory crutch. My “titles” have usually been a word or two as a reference for me to find a particular haiku again when I scroll through a month’s worth of posts. Even including that much, though, has bothered me, because I didn’t want them to be thought of or read as titles. So for now, I’m only going to “title” my haiku with the date. I’ll probably keep it up until the day I spend an hour searching for a specific haiku...
Today’s haiku is a variation of a response I made to some woodblock print images that I posted today as a prompt for my Virtual Haiku Workshop group on Facebook (if you’re on FB and interested, please send a request to join us).

The ceramics artist
describes his simple cups
as three-line poems.
PS: Artist Simon van der Ven later shared the "cups" part of his talk:
"A beautiful, handmade cup is a three-line poem about consideration.
PS: Artist Simon van der Ven later shared the "cups" part of his talk:
"A beautiful, handmade cup is a three-line poem about consideration.
The foot speaks about a relationship to its ground, about stability and how it will lift.
The body of the cup talks about a relationship to your hand, about separation and containment, about the definition of inside and outside.
And the rim offers its wisdom in its relationship to your lips, offering and delivering warmth, refreshment, stimulation and redemption to your body.

Making cups allows me to make hundreds of little useful sculptures, to wrestle with the intricacies of proportion, weight, and balance, to explore texture and color, to try new techniques and perfect and evolve established ones.
Making cups gives me a chance to be part of your everyday."
