The poem that I chose is ‘Thinking of Work’. It is about what happened after a brief storm and what needed to be done to tidy up the Earth. I chose this poem because I think the image that I needed to draw is very intriguing as nobody knows what the earth looks like after being blown clean by a storm, so it is really up to our imagination and creativity to conclude the picture.

In my drawing, I used a ‘polygram’ effect to draw the sky so it looks like if you touched it gently, it would immediately crumble and reveal a clear blue sky. The paintbrush is to paint the sky blue and the dry tree branches holding the sun represent a hand. The clouds that look like ‘waves’ show that the aspect that you’re looking at is above the clouds and way above the sky. The windows flowing out of a window show just how horrendous this storm is. Lastly, there used to be dried grass but we bought some new grass to cover it up.
