Visual poetry november 2018
The poem describes a homeless veteran sitting alone on a cold metal bench, watching people pass by without noticing or caring for him, despite having fought for their freedom. He is cold, hungry, and in need of a home. A kind lady then reaches out to him, gives him her hand, thanks him for his service, and he thanks her in return. The poem suggests he needs more people to show kindness and help like she did.

The narrator and their family went to visit their Aunt Kathey but were not allowed inside, sensing something was wrong. When they returned home, the narrator's mother told them that Aunt Kathey had died, leaving the narrator heartbroken and crying.

3) The blog will document the filmmaking process and progress, and the evaluation will reflect on what went well and could be improved.

1. THE WEIGHT OF SWEETNESS
No easy thing to bear, the weight of sweetness.
Song, wisdom, sadness. Joy: sweetness
equals three of any of these gravities.
See a peach bend
the branch and strain the stem until
it snaps.
Hold the peach, try the weight, sweetness
and death so round and snug
in your palm.
And, so, there is
The weight of memory:
Windblown, a rain-soaked
bough shakes, showering
the man and the boy.
They shiver in delight,
and the father lifts from his son’s cheek
one green leaf
fallen like a kiss.
The good boy hugs a bag of peaches
his father has entrusted
to him.
Now he follows
his father, who carries a bagful in each arm.
See the look on the boy’s face
as his father moves
faster and farther ahead, while his own steps
flag, and his arms grow weak, as he labors
under the weight
of peaches.
2. Early in the Morning
While the long grain is softening
in the water, gurgling
over a low stove flame, before
the salted Winter Vegetable is sliced
for breakfast, before the birds,
my mother glides an ivory comb
through her hair, heavy
and black as calligrapher’s ink.
She sits at the foot of the bed.
My father watches, listens for
the music of comb
against hair.
My mother combs,
pulls her hair back
tight, rolls it
around two fingers, pins it
in a bun to the back of her head.
For half a hundred years she has done this.
My father likes to see it like this.
He says it is kempt.
But I know
it is because of the way
my mother’s hair falls
when he pulls the pins out.
Easily, like the curtains
when they untie them in the evening.
18. Falling: The Code
1.
Through the night
the apples
outside my window
one by one let go
their branches and
drop to the lawn.
I can’t see, but hear
the stem-snap, the plummet
through leaves, then
the final thump against the ground.
Sometimes two
at once, or one
right after another.
During long moments of silence
I wait
and wonder about the bruised bodies,
the terror of diving through air, and
think I’ll go tomorrow
to find the newly fallen, but they
all look alike lying there
dewsoaked, disappearing before me.
2.
I lie beneath my window listening
to the sound of apples dropping in
the yard, a syncopated code I long to know,
which continues even as I sleep, and dream I know
the meaning of what I hear, each dull
thud of unseen apple-
body, the earth
falling to earth
once and forever, over
and over.
3. Eating Alone
I've pulled the last of the year's young onions.
The garden is bare now. The ...
Pezzetino (true colors revised with text and pictures)
The story is about a small character named Pezzetino who believes he must be a "little piece" of one of the larger animals he sees. He asks each animal if he is their missing piece, but they all respond that they could not perform their abilities if they were missing a piece. Pezzetino goes to see the wise one, who tells him to travel to the Island of Wham. On the island, made of pebbles with no plants or animals, Pezzetino tumbles and breaks into pieces, realizing he too is made of little pieces like the others. Relieved to discover his own identity, Pezzetino returns home happily.
My pomes

Bubble gum poetically ponders what small things people enjoy putting in their mouths that come in different sizes and colors.

He asks each animal if he is their missing piece, but they all respond that they could not perform their abilities if they were missing a piece. Pezzetino goes to see the wise one, who tells him to travel to the Island of Wham. On the island, made of pebbles with no plants or animals, Pezzetino tumbles and breaks into pieces, realizing he too is made of little pieces like the others. Relieved to discover his own identity, Pezzetino returns home happily.

- 2. The Door I`ve never been behind this door! I don’t know what to think! What is behind this door? Is it a closet full of books? Is it as dirty as a Pig? Is it small or is it big? Is it tall or is it short? Is it plane or is it full of color? Is it my innovative bedroom? Is it light or is it dark? I don’t know!! JUST OPEN THE DOOR!
- 3. My Poor Turtle We had a bonfire, I found him in the mud. He was a baby turtle. He was like a tiny pea. I took him home. I looked up turtles on the computer. He was a snapping turtle! He was so compassionate. Dad wouldn’t let us keep him. We put him in a safe place, Or so I thought. The tractor ran over him, He was squashed. I miss Double TT
- 4. A Fish I live in a pond, Everyone likes to catch me. I am the clever one, I don’t get lured to people. No one takes care of my home, It’s as dirty as a mud puddle, I love taking bait from human’s hooks. I do not get caught, Like all of my past friends. They all got taken and eaten by humans. I miss my poor fish friends.
