Description
D: Okay the poem is pretty bad because the teacher only let use words from 2 page [one page only had one sentence] so it's a very crappy poem. @_@Um, the picture.
This poem is a school assignment for english, the book we're going over is JoyLuck Club.
The girl is supposed to be the daughter, too "full" to understand. I was aiming for happiness. Since in America, there was less turmoil that time. The daughter is smoking, and the smoke turns into the form of a swan [it doesn't look like smoke, does it. >_<] that swan is supposed to be the forgotten bird of memories. Memories of pain and tradition that come from the mother. The smoking is supposed to hint at euphoria, I was thinking of opium. [drugs GASP] The blindfold is supposed to represent blissful ignorance.
In Joyluck club, the mothers lived in China when there was this war going on, so the pain and sorrow is referring to the suffering experienced in China.
Sorry for the terrible scan quality, I set the jpg setting lower than usual, due to massive file size. >_<;

The poem with the drawing as a frame is very creative. I bet that you got good marks on this homework.

Nice support for your poem! A lot better than submiting those literature deviations. If i ever want to upload some text i'll use something like this.
So, very nice work there!

It comes pretty close to looking like smoke except for how the tail curls and stops. It would have probably look more like smoke if all the tail was coming from her mouth and there were small whisps of smole going from the beak like it was dissipating. I love the picture overall and I can say the picture is better fo a poem, but it's hard as hell to get a good one out of those assignments. I love english, hate those types of assignments.
Love your work as always

Yeah, I've drawn better smoke, that I can say for sure. @_@
Haha, I hate my poem, it sounds so choppy, I hate that kind of limitation. Oh well, I doubt he'll grade really really hard. DX
Thank you :3 yeah, you're right about the beak, looks a bit too solid.

Haha, yeah, maybe the teacher won't read the poem.
But I'm in an honours class, so he'll probably base more points on the poem itself, rather than the visuals. @_@
