i should get in the habit of posting more of my stuff onto here! those of you in the ffc would have seen this, as would those of you who follow my insta or tumblr. but for keepsake, i decided to upload them here as well.
it's no secret that i really really like poetry, and that i reference and quote a lot of it in my characters! go onto the page of any random one, and you'd find a poetry quote associated with them.
just as i like to imagine my ocs existing in 'music videos' in my heads with songs i like playing in the background, i like doing the same but for poetry. i thought to further my art by doing redraws of poems, because they're often shorter than song lyrics.
content warning: there is blood in some of these. i made sure that the content that i'm making is visually non-violent, and if there is, that it's implied/censored. poetry can be very heavy, so heavy topics such as death and grief are covered in these redraws!
Siegfried Sassoon's "[REDACTED] in the Trenches" (15 aug 2020)[]
the actual title of this poem covers a triggering topic, hence ive censored it + the one line where it happens.
do you ever think about the eah ocs that have to face war? i do, and wanted to draw this poem with ablative who is famously cocky and in high-spirits.
Abigail van Buren's "Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep" (17 aug 2020)[]
ever since i first read this poem, i was immediately like: "icarus. this is icarus. the junipers in general, really."
often read at funerals, this poem helps people deal with grief.
