I can't directly draw what they describe in the poem, so I'm not what sure what to do. The more abstract, the better. I think its going to look like crap. It says "The end result shouldnt be a direct illustration of the events or subject matter of the poem but a psychological parallel to the overall content (subject matter, structure (such as alliteration, rhyme, intent). The purpose of the assignment is to build visual language based on written language"
I personally hate this assignment.
Does anyone have ideas what I should do? This is the poem I think I want
It is a modern translation of a shakespeare poem.
Sun, why did you make it look like today was going to be such a beautiful day, so that I went out without my cloak, only to let nasty clouds overtake me on my way, hiding your radiance behind their poisonous mist?
It’s not enough that you broke through the clouds and dried the rain off my storm-beaten face, because no man can be satisfied with a cure that heals the physical injury but doesn’t take away the disgrace.
Nor does it comfort me that you’re ashamed, because even though you regret what you did, I have still lost out. When someone takes something away from you, their being sorry doesn’t help much.
Ah, but those tears you’re shedding out of love for me are like pearls—very valuable ones—and they make up for all your bad deeds.
