From my own experiences of expression through art, this piece takes me to a saddened deep dark place.
Eyes like mirrors, reflecting the pain and sadness you feel, like a kaleidoscope merging all your emotions ... until tears shatter the colourful images that have been dyed into the brain... as the colours wash away, fade and dry, you still see your master piece on a blank white canvas.
I maybe way off but this is the imagery I see in this piece... I adore this form and I'm sadden by your pain. <3
This was very very clever and creative Maple. I am really for the use of colours to describe emotion, I think it can help in expressing how we feel inside.
What you have done here is split the poem into describing an object and what makes it up. But also show what your heart was feeling.
I could clearly see the end of the scope and how all the shattered mirrors perhaps even represented your heart, or they could represent how you see out of your own eyes right now, like everything is broken and there is such a mixture of all these colours around you that it can become overwhelming.
What I find ironic is that you describe how something sad like broken mirrors can create this Kaleidoscope, turning it into art. Then you take your own emotions and pain and also turn them into art in the form of poetry.
Your form choice did not seem to be forced what so ever and it flowed very smoothly. It was like there was no form there, only these words and this image you create of your emotion and this is what makes your form great.
