THE KILL


*1

On the rocky terrain,lurks a beast
while the others wait for a feast

the beast walks,not knowing what's coming
the animals wait, for it is to start running

the beast gains speed
the animals ready to feed

the sepia theme shows the aggression
my sleepy state is causing a depression

they gain on the beast
finally,its their time to feed

now we're blank
so we'll be frank

think of something
or we'll hit you with a plank





REVIEW 



          looking at the painting the first thing that came to mind was migration.Having lived in the wild such a phenomenon must be common.After much thinking we decided to work with following words migration,morning,ancient,sepia,mountains,aggressive and hunting. We came up with a story after clubbing different ideas together and then structured it into a poem.
           Reading the poem again and again and comparing it to the picture it doesn't seem to fit quite well since there is no alpha animal in sight the only possibility is that they are running from a predator,predator being humans or carnivores.A girl mentioned in class that you can't predict what happened before and after the image,i disagree since the picture is in motion itself it should have frames as opposing to a still life or a portrait .The fourth and sixth stanza has a funny tune to it which makes it unique from the cliche story of hunting.The more i stare at the painting i see human faces even though its just texture of the wall creating it. Notice the mysterious spots on the animals body? *2 In Nigel Spivey's documentary on more human than human you find out the mystery behind the random spots appearing on the animals body and two dimensional images.
