All around, the jungle, and heat
Beneath was grass,
Decaying coconuts and saplings
This is an island
That's the sea
There aren't any grown ups at all
The shore fledged with palms
Green feathers in the air
Out there the white surf
Shimmering water and ocean blue
The efflorescence tropical weed and coral
A school of glittering fish hither and thither
Beyond, more enchantment
A great platform, uncompromising,
Thrusting up through forest to a point at infinity
A long deep incredible pool of dark green, pink granite,
Water warmer than blood, a huge bath
Golden light danced and shattered
Mirages wrestled with the brilliance of the lagoon
You picked up many beautiful images from the book. Many of them overlap with my group's found poem.
ReplyDeleteThe picture of the island looks pretty amazing, the stickman picture could have used some more details, but it doesn't really show anything about the poem. The music in the background is very soothing, love it; the poem also sounds melodic, very nice job.
ReplyDeleteI really like the arrangement of the poem that clearly describes the island at the beginning of the novel. It really sets up a clear contrast with how beautiful the island is at the beginning to how destroyed it was at the end. The second picture makes it look as if the island is in the sky, which is quite beautiful and serves as a reference to how far away they are from the world. Well done.

Really nice drawings. They look exactly how I imagined the Island would look like.
ReplyDeleteI didn't understand the part of the beyond leads to more enchantment. Your phrases are very concise and the pictures accompany your poem very well. The water warmer than blood line is pretty chilling, because I don't think anyone has been bathed with blood before. This overshadows the coming events of the impending doom of several characters and I like that a lot.

I like the drawing of yours. You have a very vivid description of the environment of the island. You created a very strong visual impact to the audience. The island of the second image has a very good colour and shape! Great job!

fantastic! This is exactly the sort of experience I was hoping groups would present in terms of auditory and visual along with the poem. Only thing missing from the rubric was the list of contributors (first names). great job! Colours/imagery and sound worked well with the poem you created
