Ekphrastic Mondays Poem #2

This is the second in my National Poetry Month 2015 "Ekphrastic Mondays" series. The painting, a fresco, at the Church of Ognissanti in Florence, was painted by Domenico Ghirlandaio in 1480.

I've written about St. Lucy before; click here.

  1. I'd never met the Patron Saint of Eyeglasses! What a unique take on the painting. :)
