Description

- this is a poem i did for my languages arts American Dream assignment
- i decided to write a poem
- how did i do this?
- i took tissue paper and printed the images on those. then i mixed water and glue and secured the image to the canvas with the painted background, thats basically it
- used acrylics, water color, glue, markers, and about 4 hours
- enjoy :]

p.s. - that is my writing scanned and printed onto the tissue paper.


Heres the poem if you cant read it:

Founded by leaders with escalating hopes
This land would flourish with new ideals
Enriched, people reflect on the experiences they wrote
And in the eyes of many, this dream became real

However, my parents did not see America as a dream
But more of an opportunity to renew their life
With a torn past of war and violence, they must mend the seam
Lost and confused, they search, escaping from grasp of strife

Once a blank canvas, they paint the new reality of life before them
The past is swept away by the social current, and they move on
From the depths of hardships, their lives blossomed with a stable stem
And before them their children stand, the just from all the wrong.

The dream that was planted in the minds of so many remained a reality
My parent’s perspective strayed from business, and the success came through our eyes
And our realization of this dream was strengthened by our parent’s vitality
Through my own aspirations, my parents will helps me to rise

This dream that changed so many lives, seems to be unappreciated
Our generation takes life for granted and complain about minor issues
Many don’t realize the opportunities our country has created
And it is time we realize what we must achieve, and what is true

With your permission, I would like to use the first and last sections of this poem for a similar project in my own Am. Lit. class. A major difference being, we were not asked to write a piece of our own, but to find one. I would take your stanzas and incorporate them into my own original work of art. You may see the final product if you wish. =)
