Ekphrasis is the graphic, often dramatic description of a visual work of art. Ekphrasis has been considered generally to be a rhetorical device in which one medium of art tries to relate to another medium by defining and describing its essence and form, and in doing so, relate more directly to the audience, through its illuminative liveliness. A descriptive work of prose or poetry, a film, or even a photograph may thus highlight through its rhetorical vividness what is happening, or what is shown in, say, any of the visual arts, and in doing so, may enhance the original art and so take on a life of its own through its brilliant description.
Poem
The Cake That Bit Back
A baker decide to bake a cake one day, he mixed the ingrients, flour white as snow, nuts as hard as stone, choclate as sweet as the smell of a flower. He poured the mixture in a pan and placed it in the over let it sit some time in the oven. After it was done he took it out and set it on the table and decide to take a nap. He woke up to the sweet smell of the cake and found the cake ten times as big as he cooked it and it was standing over him. The baker jumped out of the bed but not fast enough. The delious cake had ate him.
