My Ekphrastic poem, “Blue Baby”, written in response to the painting “A Woman Holding a Balance” by Johannes Vermeer, has been published by Vita Brevis. Thank you, Brian Geiger!
It’s interesting that this poem was published on Father’s Day considering the theme I propose. What is she weighing? Is it really the pearls?
Check out some other poetry put up by this press.

Congratulations. There are many elements on that scale. Polished life / laborious tenure. Good & bad tidings. Loss / survival. Much to consider.
