This week we read the poem Rain by Hone Tuwhare (above). What I like about this poem is how Tuwhare describes the rain through his sense but he does it in a way that makes me visualise the rain in a different way.
Above are some abstract drawings I did in response to some of the verses n Tuwhare’s poem. I wanted to capture how I envisioned Tuwhare’s descriptions
making small holes
in the silence
rain”
the pores of my skin
would open to you
and shut”
should know you
by the lick of you
if I were blind”
