I've got some time on my hands at the moment due to being unemployed and think it's about time I got back to doing some film making while I've got the chance. There is just me and my camera, I don't have access to actors or large amounts of props, so I'm considering creating a visual representation of a poem with a voice-over. The trouble is I'm more a of a classic novel man and have little experience of poetry. I need suggestions of good poems with strong visual themes that might suit a project such as this. I live in a coastal UK city, so poems based in this kind of environment would be best. Also any examples need to be included in your answer or readily available to view online as my jobseekers allowance won't stretch to buying books at the moment. Any suggestions are much appreciated, thanx.
BTW I'm big on melancholy so keep em dark!
 
well I do not encounter much poetry outside of this forum
so I do not know how much help I will be

here is a poem I wrote about how crying can be healing

it should be easy to render in a visual context


the saline solution
by
Kevin Hancock

Hard bought
that soft line
thin red rim
intense as the passing
of time
where bodies cry
and a tears
journey
that long way
from fears
across a droplets frolic
the follicle fields
that gentle rolling
plain, here we go
again
cross blushing cheek
from the corner
of pain
they leak
from the soul
onto the canvas of life
the color of sorrow
is clear, in strife
the saline solution
emotional pollution
reinventing the term
revolution
avoiding the absolute
resolution

if you decide to use this imagery feel free to take any artistic liberties
I would be flattered if I was able to inspire
good luck
