'Becoming Jane'

Today I watched 'Becoming Jane' "A biographical portrait of a pre-fame Jane Austen and her romance with a young Irishman" and after being reduced to tears yet again, I wrote this poem to capture the emotions in the closing scenes. 

A Jane Austen inspired poem

These eyes tell a story of sadness

Of haste and love, unrequited

Bestowed on you, most unwanted

These feelings are strong as ever

And do not diminish with tears

Thought they are plenty and free flowing

Through glazed eyes

I see a dull unfulfilling world

A plastered smile controlling

I am so tantalisingly tormented

Twisting words and playing thoughts

I am deceived by my own

Most inappropriate lustful thoughts

Reliant on friends for news

Listening for a glimmer of hope or redemption

I have lost you, and thereafter myself

My First Prezi

Everyone has to create a presentation at some point in their student or professional career. Prezi is a cloud based presentation software. It allows you to create interesting presentations that can be metaphors for your work. If you can work it out they are available to share online ...

You can download the presentations to play on your computer. I am still learning how to then upload this to an external site, like how to up load it to this blog.  

'Paint' a pretty picture

I was playing around with images one afternoon, when I was reminded of a ICT lesson in my NVQ placement. The children created images in a 'paint' like program and then used animate to sequence the images and add tempo. This was a fun story I created for the children. I no longer have the original program so can not edit the speed, this is just an online version. 

Today I have taken still paint images, and created a giggly poem.
