Judith Leyster assignment

This is my assignment about Judith Leyster. I had to write a poem, using fixed words, and make a drawing about it, in my own style. I like etching style, but unfortunately I didn't had the right colours. My poem is about Judith's fears, so you see a full moon, a howling wolf, two spiders, a bat and a little girl carefully watching the wolf. Because we had to use fixed words, it was hard to make a good poem. The result is not my best poem ever, but it was nice to do.

The poem:

I am Judith Leyster

I'm sometimes very happy, mostly a bit rare

I wonder, why I always feel so scared

I hear the hounds howling

I see the spiders crowling

I want to forget my fears,

by painting this whole dream

I am Judith Leyster

I pretend to fade away my fears, well,

I'm trying anyway

I feel desperately, waiting for the day

I touch the morning sun lights,

my fears go with every golden ray

Still I worry if my tears could ever go away

I cry for the pain that filled my heart

I am Judith Leyster

I understand that it's just my own imagination
I say it loud out in myself, it's just my own creation

I dream my first nice dream ever,

grass green, skies blue

I try to make such a dream really come true

I hope I'll never be afraid again

I am Judith Leyster
