An Ekphrastic Poem 

The Raven Seal Series book covers

Have many welcoming signs, 

From design to colors and objects—

A true collage of romance and suspense. 

The gold frame is most catching;

With ornate looks and gilded corners, 

It will no doubt remind the viewer

Of being in a museum or gallery. 

The alternating protagonists— 

Their fashion, stances, gender, and grace— 

With come-hither glances that draw us in, 

Pulling the mind to a deeper place. 

The landscape brings a gentle softness, 

A distant building sparks our curiosity. 

With colors, brightness, joy, suspense, 

The cover begs us: open me.
