Untitled sonnet

We walk off the red bus hand in hand
As we galloped into the far distance
Threw the meadows , and down towards the sand
You are the key to my lone existence
Why do you go leave me my love?
Is it because you are too good for me
You are like a free and soulful dove
Free to be however you want to be

Why can't you accept me for what I am?
I know that we only meet on a bus
When I see our love I can feel like dam
The birds started chirping because of us

Come on my boo, take me into your "type"
I am not all that great "hype"

Poetry

What is poetry?

Poetry
Amass of descriptive words
All relating to
Each other
About an object, felling, person, or something
That the poet cares about
Does not have to rhyme
But can be rhythmic
A way to describe ones words about something
To express emotions
Or thoughts
Not always interpreted how the poet might have wanted
But told by
Everyone
DIFFERENTLY

What happens to... Poem

What happens after a heart breaks...

Does it shrivel up sole less
In a gallon of chocolate mush
Or does it break in to many pieces
Like a puzzle
To find its place

Created madness
Not only by one sole
But by many

What happens when I see them again?


The soup can

Ohhh you different one
You plane
Yet playful one

The one with the golden touch
The one with the familiar colors
Ohhh you know how to
Please the sole

Yet you very complex one
Many say
They may paint it the same way

But me thinks how one can come upon you
But how are you thought of in this large world?

Andy Warhol

As a young child Warhol was obsessed with fame, fortune, and glamor. He used to cut pictures from magazines and newspapers of Hollywood film stares, he also collected autographs. As time went by his interest grew, he wanted to know more about the Hollywood lifestyle and how it would be to be famous, but who wouldn't wonder what there live would be like if they where famous. Both of Warhol's parents came from Milkova ( which is now know as Slovakia ) to the United States. When Warhol was a student in the summer he would work at a department store he would look at all the European fashion magazines. (Bolton, pages 6,7,9).

As Warhol grew older so did his artistic abilities. He went towards pop art. But although his talent changed his love for Hollywood stars never did. But that's a different paragraph. Pop art is a art technique that was very popular in the 20th century. It takes everyday products and gave it abstract artist touch, it also had a lot to do with reproducing the same picture over again but always different ways. ( www.biddingtons.com)

This piece of art work (shown above) is called the soup can and was painted in 1962. When he did pop art he did a lot of famous people like Marilyn Monroe, and Elvis Presley, he also did name brand products like Brillo, and Campbell's. Not only did he Campbell's tomato soup a lot of times but he also did campbell manhattan clam chowder and many others. When he made his other art works he made them very colorful and bright which makes you think rainbows and happiness.

Now in his other works of art it seems very complicated. But in the Soup Can its very simple yet complex with the details that he focused on like the ridges on the top ad the sort of side ways O in soup, and the design on the bottom under the word soup. I think that he wanted it to be so plain and simple because it is different from all of his other bright works maybe it shows how he was when he was younger different. Or maybe be because it stands out and he wanted to stand out of the crowd. Or maybe because it's such a known brand that a lot of us Americans grew up with and he wants to make the adults go back and remember how it was when they where younger. Or maybe he signed a contract that no one knew about with Campbell's soup and wants people to buy more of it. Or maybe he was trying to put one of his favorite products out there and make it pop out to everyone, the possibility are endless.
