Could this be called a sonnet? It is 14 lines....
At any rate, it can be called an ekphacsis poem since it is describing something "dashed by the artist on cheap paper."
I like the poem since I can clearly imagine the painting from her words. I also like the one personal line near the end. Perhaps that makes it not quite a rigid ekphacsis, but I like that humanizing bit in this poem about gods.
Favorite line: "A four-armed flutist"
dashed by the artist on cheap paper.
