read write prompt #36: ekphrastic extravaganza

fibonacci, by Rick Mobbs

[not a] Fib

You
live
in a
shell, a nautilus
shell, a miraculous pearly husk.

You
live
in the
shell with a
light. The light is alive,

it
shimmers
in the
iridescent glow inside
the shell. The shell curves

in
a
marvelous spiral.
These are your
chambers. You live in light.

 

This week's prompt was ekphrastic extravaganza. Here is Christine's article on ekphrastic poetry. Here is a Wikipedia article on fibonacci poetry, which this actually isn't; I counted words instead of syllables.

Revised 24 July: changed the pronoun from she to you.
