ooooh allegory!


I think this idea would be a fantastic children's story. Told from the perspective of what one person saw and felt as they watched a little girl hold on to a mysterious string above her town and all the crazy things people did to try and bring her down.

like...

Hope dangles on a string
somewhere in the sky.
Since normal little girls stay down,
this sight has caught my eye.

From where I'm sitting on my roof
it remains quite plain to me
just what a job the helpful mob
will find up-Hope to be.

Every able-bodied neighbor
gathered in the square
and under every able arm
was tucked a single chair

One by one the stairs where stacked
way up in the sky
with hopes of reaching dangling Hope
where all the birds flew by

blah blah that's all I can think of right now.

I think it should feel something like "spirited away" or "my neighbor totoro." Really infused with that Miyazaki sense of imaginatioin and wonder.

I think it was fantastic. You should really do something with that poem. Make it into a deviation of it's own, once you finish it.

You're right, I first thought Miyazaki when I looked at this. I love her pants, it's a very simple, powerful peice.

The style seems slightly different, but amazing nevertheless. Great job. :D
:icontsubasagahoushi:
great concept and the poem/story that goes with it is fantastic.

really interesting line of thought.

I like how you had the piece very long too, that way it gave the feeling of hanging or falling.. whichever way you look at it.

She looks bored...
"mommy when is someone getting me down from here?"
Very neat ^^ A children's story? Perhaps, indeed... would make for a good tale before going to sleep.. and it would keep children from pulling random strings in the house =3
I must say the style strikes me as remarkably well chosen for a children's book.
