As we finish up our discussion on graffiti in Detroit, I wanted to share a poem I started to write while we were on our field trip and just finished up today. As we discussed perspectives and the light in which Detroit was viewed I felt these things being reflected in each photograph I took. I felt the power to change views, including my own, but mostly I felt like I was learning so much, and I love to learn. Anyhow, here is my short acrostic poem, Bliss, and a few pictures that I took while in Detroit.
Buildings scraping the turning grey sky
Losing themselves in a tale of stories untold
Images shattering before me
Shards of silhouettes piercing my soul
Sharing emotion, an unbreakable bond.
Cool photos! Also, the line "sharing emotions" in your poem is an awesome way to describe graffiti's purpose to some writers.
