Haikus, especially, are excellent for this task. <br />A friend and I were planning on doing the same with some of my poems, but we never finished it. I think longer works are like stories, too, and that might be interesting to illustrate, as well. However, for practice, it is reasonable to start with a haiku. You have the tools to do both. I haven't painted in years (well, not true, I painted some abstract art last year). You know, I was into art before I even started to write. My grandmother was an excellent painter/sculptress. I was very good at drawing when I was younger. I wish I had kept the fire burning. <br />In any case, this is a must-do! I shall see your progress; upload your material here.

You know, Jack ...That is a really interesting idea. You know, Jack Kerouac, in an interview for the Paris Review, said that 'Haiku's are little pictures'. Now, all I have to do is reverse the process - take a haiku/poem and convert it into a picture! <br /><br />I've always loved the poetries of Robert Browning and Robert Frost or Lord Tennyson for that matter. It would be interesting to illustrate 'Porphyria's lover' or 'Fra Lippo Lippi' or Wordsworth's 'Lucy' poems. <br /><br />Ah, this is exciting! benzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08208739746601391476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2580934592250764558.post-68530161151189025622012-12-10T22:49:24.665+05:302012-12-10T22:49:24.665+05:30Lovely, lovely, lovely.

When I was a kid I thought that was fire, flames dancing, in the foreground, and the notion of black fire really fascinated me. When I figured out that it was a cypress, I have to admit that, at first, I was very disappointed.Andreashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129547380377962436noreply@blogger.com
