An Ekphrastic Poem by Richard Lloyd Cederberg"},"content":{"rendered":"

 
\n 
\nEkphrastic – composed with triolets
\n 
\n“It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth”
\n 
\n\"WITHDRAWN\"<\/a>
\n 
\nI\u2019m not the one I used to be
\nWho broke the rules and pushed the bar
\nWho never wavered, can\u2019t you see
\nI\u2019m not the one I used to be
\nBut now since much has changed in me
\nI\u2019ll dream but never go too far
\nI\u2019m not the one I used to be
\nWho broke the rules and pushed the bar
\n 
\n 
\nI\u2019m not someone of na\u00efve quest
\nEspousing all that\u2019s given me
\nNurturing all my hearts unrest
\nI\u2019m not someone of na\u00efve quest
\nBut if I\u2019ve not somehow possessed
\nThe art of sweet simplicity
\nI\u2019m not someone of na\u00efve quest
\nEspousing all that\u2019s given me
\n 
\n 
\nI\u2019m not the one I used to see
\nIn stirring flames and mountain streams
\nArtless on a raging sea
\nI\u2019m not the one I used to see
\nBut if I\u2019ve struggled just to be
\nA somber shawl of unsung dreams
\nI\u2019m not the one I used to see
\nIn stirring flames and mountain streams
\n 
\n 
\nI\u2019ve become withdrawn with age
\nBeguiled with simple fare
\nInspired more to disengage
\nI\u2019ve become withdrawn with age
\nNevermore to war and rage
\nAgainst this life unfair
\nI\u2019ve become withdrawn with age
\nBeguiled with simple fare
