English I (Pre-AP): Poem about Brueghel's "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus"

In class we discussed William Carlos Williams' poem "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus," an ekphrastic poem (a poem written about another work of art) about Pieter Brueghel's painting of the same name.

Look at the painting below, and then write a poem about it. (It doesn't have to rhyme; it can be a haiku as long as it follows the 5-7-5 syllable rule.)
