An ekphrastic poem is a representation of language in a work of art through the act of narrating. The work of art I used for an ekphrastic piece is called,The Nightmare made by the artist Henry Fuseli. This painting is one of the most disturbing pieces of art that was ever created.

The Nightmare

The Prince of lies must always look beautiful at first.

I lure her with a song.

This song can only be sung by me.

It swallowed her into a sudden sleep,

I comfort her with a trance deeper than the seas,


She comes to me with love in her heart

She actually believes

she is falling

in the hands of an angel.


Come here, come to me.

I toil with her golden caramel locks

caress that porcelain doll face of hers

Don't wake me up


About to grab her neck

In a blink of an eye

she takes off my mask

putting up a fight she won't win


Gently I crawl on top of

her cloud colored dress, sitting on her chest

Blood boiling in my veins.

My scarlet eyes shatters into the smog of inferno rains.

I am the dark, my words are too much in my heart.


Out of body experience unfolds

When the white horse of Revelations

comes monstering up from

behind the muddy curtains



Smiling at her fate with my friend until

I seize her with

a chant - chant - a chant that traps cornering her at

the end.


Then the lights went out.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
