This week's topic is anything mentioned in, or brought to mind by, a song or a poem. The sky's the limit!!
I looked on my shelves for illustrated poems and found some illustrations on the covers of the books, applying to the entire contents (perhaps), or at least relevant to the title of the collection.
Inside other books, poems have illustrations, sometimes by the author -
A painting leads the choice of poem in this instagram account -
From Judith - A sort of story board, no prizes for guessing poem.
From Jo - This was done several years ago: Indian ink, partly collaged. I was interested in poems about encounters with animals in houses. The others (which included bats and lions) were much scrappier even than this! It was a sad poem called Fable by Janos Pilinszky, translated by Ted Hughes.
From Ann - .looking at past pieces inspired by poetry..
firstly, a photograph taken in the Spring of a Hampstead magnolia...
A little bird poem response
and a rather sombre Haiku, written by my grandson recently.
From Gillian - Sorry about this one!
Can’t draw cows very well
From Najlaa - This is a poem in Arabic to Iraqi writer called Ahmad Mater. I couldn't find the translation to this one.
From Joyce - a poem written by my sister, Moira Coupe, over which I’ve drawn sea kale. I’ve used Japanese brush pens , my original sketch was done in Aquarelle crayons when we stayed in Swanage together in 2003.
From Sue K - A hommage to Wordsworth - ‘l wandered lonely as a cloud’ .
‘A host of golden daffodils’ a sketch/wash done last Spring when l dead-headed a bunch of daffys & felt compelled to record the assemblage.
From Janet B - Old MacDonald had a box of vintage farm toys which I unearthed while searching for something else.
From me - Quentin Blake's cover of Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes shows, in the pictures on the wall, some of the six traditional tales "reinterpreted" by Dahl - Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk - parodies with surprise endings.
