~Many thanks to Melissa Coffey, the editor of ArtMusing, for helping me write A Reluctant Moses Took the Staff. This is an Ekphrastic poem based on a work of art. The artwork, as shown in the featured image, is by Eugene Pluchart, who painted God Appears to Moses in the Burning Bush in 1848. It is on display in St. Isaac’s Cathedral, St. Petersburg, Russia.
