Poem
as a creative response to the adapted story from Samoa, a short animated film,
"The Turtle and The Shark" by Ryan Woodward.
The
music let me feel, fear.
Fear
the future that comes,
Let
me feel, the sadness.
Sadness
the unfulfilled obligation might bring,
Let
me feel, relieved.
Relieved
on easing, the fear and sadness.
The
art made me appreciate, the tradition.
Tradition
with culture, beliefs, and values,
Made
me understand, the culture.
Made
me see their beliefs,
Made
me realize, the values.
Music
can make an impact to everyone,
But,
making it like an oral tradition,
Made
the story, significant.
Not
only to me, but to everyone.
Everyone,
who understand the culture.
Everyone, who see the beliefs and realize the moral value.
Hi Nicole
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your poem- not only did you write this poem as a response to the legend's craft, but you also described how the art and music made you appreciate, feel and understand the moral story of the legend.
Cheers!
I agree with you about the important role 'the arts' play in our cultures and in communicating our cultural ideas and ideals.
