It is amazing what we can start to see now… before it was more fiction from the perspective of Major Tom

In reply to Ron.. Homesick? I didn't know you were a Martian.

Yeah, this is really good, as far as poetry written about photography can go, but when you see them up close, when you take off your shoes & let those multicolored bits slip between your toes as I have done so often, mere words can never truly express. This work made me homesick. Thanks a bunch, OtherRon

Isn’t it marvellous? And mind blowing! You describe the image so well.

In reply to msjadeli. Thanks. The Mars Rover is already there and is kind of a dune buggy, but I don't think it has a seat for a human.

I love the use of colour in this stunning ekphrastic poem, Ron.

The ‘tightening tapestry’ draws several images.

The phenomena is worthy of a great poem and you did it honor by writing one. I’d love to take a dune buggy out on those blue Martian dunes!

In reply to Ron Rowland.

I was almost hoping you’d say that you wrote the poem and then found the picture, Ron – because it’s humbling to me that you did such a fantastic job with this poem.
