Wonderful, Debbie, and definitely haunting! This poem is dear to my heart because my son is an E.A.Poe fan and recited The Raven from memory for his 7th grade English class, much to the delight of his teacher.
Etegami (e= "picture"; tegami= "letter/message") are simple drawings accompanied by a few apt words. They are usually done on postcards so that they can be easily mailed off to one's friends. Though etegami has few hard-and-fast rules, traditional tools and materials include writing brushes, sumi ink, blocks of water-soluble, mineral-based pigments called gansai, and washi postcards that have varying degrees of "bleed." They often depict some ordinary item from everyday life, especially items that bring a particular season to mind.
Hah - Debbie! I love this... Poe is a favourite of mine and you have done his Raven justice!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween! Boo!
