Found Poetry In Lord of the Flies

This is an island
Beyond that, the sea was dark blue
Blue of all shades
Polished waters
Dazzling

The open space
The perspective of the beach to a point at infinity
The whelming sea and sweet air
At midday, the sun gazed down
If not happily, at least with absorbed attention

Life was so full
To believe in the reality of the island
Work, play, and good right through the day
They accepted the pleasures

Then darkness
Dark with violent pleasure
there was no light left of the stars
Be frightened if you like
Maybe there is a beast
Maybe it's only us

  10. I thought the the vocals matching with the animation was really well done. Furthermore, the last section of the poem clearly removes all speculation that the journey on the island will be a happy one. Very nice contrast and well done overall!
