Blog Post 4 - Stewart

Found:
Guide my venturing in this world,
A world full of secrets,
A world unknown
Where hope is lost,
And darkness is found
Secrets and sadness
Sigh of a child
Eyes full yet empty
Empty of light
A smile in the distance
A flickering light
From it came life and strength
In the light was a smile
From the smile found a prayer
And there the prayer found me

    Wow, your poem is deep. I really like how you make the poem rhyme in some parts. I also liked the ending and how you made it like a ladder;"In the light was a smile, from the smile found a prayer, and the prayer found me".

    I like how you use the descriptions of being found and focusing some of the themes on the eyes. For example, seeing things in the distance and no light in the eyes. I love how you say where things come from and what the world stores. Your poem is strong.

Much Like those innocent lives taken Without Reason. And Now It Spreads Finding New places to Go To run Taking lives needlessly. Mourning the lives of the innocent Jews

In the top left, I see a set of pillars acting as a sort of wall and a part of the main pillar structure. In the top right, I see the top right half of the pillar structure. In the bottom left, I see one car in the motorcade, as well as a crowd of onlookers. In the bottom right, I see the rest of the motorcade and the rest of the crowd.

Unseeing Eyes - Night Found Poem

Unseeing Eyes The stars were but sparks of the immense conflagration that was consuming us This conflagration to be extinguished one day Nothing would be left in the sky Nothing but extinct stars and unseeing eyes We looked past We saw danger We felt threatened But there were only petrified people on the other side There was no danger We had no right We took everything from them We were the judge and executioner We judged because we thought we were better We thought we were doing it for our people For our leader   They had rights They had lives to live Stories to tell There are no stars to see Everything in the sky has been extinguished We blew out the fire We took everything for granted We didn’t see Unseeing eyes in the sky
