From 2764ce38ff89667fc4073fb66cdd634caaffd613 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Case Duckworth Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 13:01:16 -0700 Subject: Fix #9 - ekphrastisize some poems For ekphrastic articles, add `ekphrastic` node to YAML metadata. This node includes subnodes `image`, `title`, `alt`, `link`, and `class`. `image` provides a link to the local image--just include the file name with the extension, not the folder (all images should be in /img/.) `title` provides the title of the image, and the alt-text, if there is no `alt` node. `alt`, if it exists, provides the alt text for the image. `link`, if present, wraps the image in an `` tag--it should point to the source web page of the ekphrastic image. `class`, if present, sets the class(es) for the image, for styling. In this commit, I've set `ekphrastic` on the four articles that have them so far: 'The Death Zone,' 'AMBER alert,' 'The moon is gone,' and 'Man.' I've also updated .template.html with the changes, and updated README.md to reflect the changes in YAML structure. --- largest-asteroid.html | 5 ++--- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'largest-asteroid.html') diff --git a/largest-asteroid.html b/largest-asteroid.html index 3099ea1..07271a6 100644 --- a/largest-asteroid.html +++ b/largest-asteroid.html @@ -37,9 +37,8 @@ -

What secrets does it hold?
Can it tell us who kissed Sara
that night on the veranda, or
who Joey is really in love with?
We all know it isn’t Sara, we
mean look at them Christmas eve
and he’s staring whistfully
at the stars, or the largest
asteroid in the asteroid belt.
She’s staring at him, sure, but
she sees the twinkle in his eye
is not aimed in her direction.
The reflection of that reflection
will beam into space, lightyears
of space, dimming slowly each
second, until it dies out like
all of Sara’s hopes for something
resembling love in this life, real
love that takes hold of her by
the throat and refuses to let go,
love that makes men travel for her
and only for her, love that launches
space ships to that asteroid, the
largest in the asteroid belt, that
jewel of dead rock and ice, harboring
something that could’ve been life
and nothing that actually is.
