I often write poetry and have published some in my blog before, including some I wrote as I child. In this post I look at a short poem I wrote with illustrations. It was then set to music, composed by Barnet Boy, in a short video.
The Moon In My Heart
The moon in my heart
is open and full.
Shining brightly.
The moon in my heart
is shy and hides.
Peeping out from behind trees.
The moon in my heart
is for the one who knows me.
My love for always.
(c) 2021 Dorothy Berry-Lound
Illustrations
This poem is illustrated by a series of 10 colorful designs that incorporate the shape of a heart. Within that there is the image of a full moon behind trees. The different designs reflect different moods, the more bright and colorful are cheery, some are more dark and hidden.
Video
This video features the images that illustrate my poem, set to music composed by my husband, Barnet Boy (Graham Irwin). I hope you enjoy it.
