An Ekphrastic American Sentence

A fine-haired brush swept the sky – it’s a dark painting that’s dying to flood.

This is a 17-syllable “American Sentence” which received benefit of linebreaks. Shared with @Experimentsinfc #APoemADay on Twitter   ©Misky 2021

    You piece mimics the photo – the break, the sky (house as line break) and flood.
    And reminds me of how in our sort of local news that a hurricane came right after a building collapse.
    Nature is formable – your words tell that story.

      That’s good to hear because it’s intended to be ekphrastic. 😁
