Rough

Thu Oct 29, 2009, 7:40 AM
Not keen on the structure of this poem. Just a rough. I don't have word on my laptop so I'm putting it here. We had to choose a "small world" in the bournemouth area to do art on. I chose winton graveyard. This poem takes a few names of the people in the graveyard and explains how they died. I'm going to play around with typography and form the words into a picture of a church.

Winton Graveyard

Elenor Jane
Completely insane,
Sat atop a cliff in the rain.
The sodden earth crumbled
And downwards she tumbled,
Suffusing her blood soaked, rocky remains.

Mr Maurice
Became too obese,
They said to stop eating, he just wouldn't cease.
He poisoned his innards, crippled his heart,
With his sweet treats he could not part.
Beneath a birch he now lies in peace.

Poor Miss Best
Had nothing left,
Packed up her life and began heading west.
Met a man full of wit and charm,
Thought he'd keep her safe from harm.
A fool, she was. He knifed her chest.

Master James Hues
One for the booze,
Hard spirits; whiskey and rum he'd abuse.
He sucked up pints till his liver turned grey,
At 30 years old he slipped away.
His mother and father sobbed in the pews.

Old Mrs Fleet
Died in her sleep
The middle of winter; outside there was sleet.
She dreamed of warmth and moments passed
and light and sun; that dream, her last.
Around her coffin her relatives weeped.

I'm not dead

I don't have that much time for DA or the internet in general any more. I've moved out now and I've started my illustration course. It's good - much better than last year. The standard of work my class has been producing has gone up ten fold since foundation. I'm almost definitely the worst drawer in my whole group :) But never mind. Seeing everyone elses work is helping to inspire me and is giving me lots of ideas. The fact that everyone seems to be better than me is also bringing out the competitive side of my personality :P I'm sure with practice I'll catch up with the others eventually.

Moving out has been mad. My housemates are all crazy :) On our first night here we all went skinny dipping in the sea at 4am :lol: We've turned out garden into something amazing by introducing a paddling pool, space hoppers and a gazebo. Living away from home is fun :)

I haven't updated in SO FRICKIN LONG so if there's anyone out there unfortunate enough to still be watching me then I apologise :P I will do better in future I swear :omg: I have no excuse now since I'm on my (FIVE MONTH) summer holidays ;) That means I've finished my first year at uni :D After muchhh hard work I got a merit and secured a place on the course of my choice (illustration at Bournemouth!) so I'm happy :D Oh if anyone's interested in seeing my final piece this is a crappy photo of it [link] I might put a better photo in my gallery soon.

OH MY GOD I saw Angels and Demons today with my loverr and it was AMAZING. GO AND WATCH IT. I also stuffed my face with sugar and now I'm hyper :(

Finally, go on this site [link] It is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Well, I got a place at Bournemouth uni. I put this down to luck, as well as my new found ability to cram an unbearable amount of work into stupidly short amount of time. I can't describe how relieved I am. I still think it's a late april fools, and after the easter holidays I'm gunna go back to uni and they'll be like "PAH! YOU FELL FOR IT" :iconjarryplz:

Anyway, sorry I haven't updated in like a million years, I've been far too busy. I think over my extremely long summer holidays I will upload some of the work I've done this year. There's so much of it :noes:

Now all that's left to do is find somewhere to live next year. I can't wait to move out and spend ridiculous amounts of money that I don't have on unaffordable accommodation :) ... No, really! I'm serious!

Me and :iconpowrprincess: didn't get into uni next year so we are counting our losses and celebrating PANCAKE STYLE

"It's long and complicated" says louise :)

We also failed to go on any of the trips the university's holding, which I am prettyyyyy annoyed about. I really wanted to go to New York!
