Cerebrating Escher (Challenge)

by Debashish Haar — Read all 156 poems by Debashish Haar

Print Gallery is the only unfinished work of M. C. Escher. The painting is an inspiration for Computer Science and Mathematics students to envision recursion. The painting goes far beyond being a mere representation of recursion (for which Drawing Hands is also an example).

Challenge
Write a poem on any of Escher's Paintings. It would be wonderful if you choose "Print Gallery" as the point of Ecphrasis, but you are free to choose any of the paintings.

Here's an old post inspired by Escher's Work

Wednesday, August 26, 2009

An eye paints a spot on a white screen.
The screen sips eye’s illusion, and turns black.
Then the spot erases itself
and the eye closes.

Emptiness of the moment channels
into a tubule of water
that falls like a drop into a stream.

Fullness condenses
as a mute drop
that pumps the tubule
out of the stream…

Fullness and emptiness
keep the stream flowing.

A brilliant poem! I like Escher, and have several prints of his downloaded, maybe I'll try one;-)
