Ekphrastic April, Day 5: "The Open Door"


"The Open Door" (circa 1913) by Helen Galloway McNicoll [1879-1915].

long winter

spring finally
arrives in a rush

every pore
of her body absorbs
the April light

    Nothing says spring like forsythia! (I'm wondering if the painter caught her just before a sneeze!!)
