Finally is here my Judith Leyster poem. The text isn't that clearly visible so I'll put it right here:
I am Judith Leyster
I am curious and idealistic
I wonder what I'll look like at sixty
I hear the wind blowing
I see the birds flying
I want to be happy
I am Judith Leyster
I pretend birds have no wings
I feel desire
I touch the air
I worry about heaven
I cry about war
I am Judith Leyster
I understand people
I say I believe in God
I dream about colours
I try to help
I hope for you
I am Judith Leyster
All the sentences started with I, and then something she does, like I hope, I feel, etc. I made these in straight and small letters, because those are the things everyone does, everyone feels, hears and understands.
The second part of each sentence is in large, curly letters, because Judith Leyster feels, hears and understands these things.
The colours which surround each second part of the sentence have to do with what it means. For example, the word 'desire' is in pink, 'the air' is in blue, and 'about war' is brown.
On the right of each sentence are some "stripes". I tried to create movement with them, like the sentence just flew into the paper from the right.
I also think if you leave out all the straight letters, at the beginning of each sentence, you also have a nice poem, with a total different message. I didn't do that on purpose, I noticed it after I had finished my poem.
I really like how it turned out, but I can understand people won't like it, or think it's simple. I agree it's simple, but there's a whole meaning and message behind it.
