Tattered Wings

I love this photo that I took in the garden of the butterfly with its tattered wings. It inspired me to write a poem, which I then wanted to display with the photo. I combined the photo, poem and a piece of my own background paper, created from another photo, to create something mixed media. I love being able to combine photography, writing and craft in this way.

Tattered Wings

It is with tattered wings I now fly, but once my wings were new

Once upon a time I flew, higher than the moon

Now my torn wings hold me back, keep me close to the earth

My feet on the ground, where tears fall unheard without a sound

I cannot repair these wings, instead I sit and watch my little world go by

Until I lay down my head, my last journey at an end - Goodbye

Fortissimo

As for my post Composition the photography project this photo was from was for a part time A level in photography and was called Music Stills. The aim of which was to capture musical words and terms in portrait pictures. This part of the photo was one of two self portraits I included, and is actually the black and white test strip I did before printing the whole of it. The poem is recent and written for this scrapbook page.
