HERMIT A DAY MAY - DAY 18

JoeHillsTSD x Where the Sidewalk Ends

For Joe Hills I chose Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein!

I loved this book along with A Light in the Attic when I was a kid. It was one of my earliest exposures to poetry and since Joe is a poet himself, I thought this would suit them well!

In addition to doing a drawing for Joe, I also tried my hand at an original Joe Hills poem in the style of Silverstein. Writing poetry is pretty far outside of my usual wheelhouse, so I hope it turned out suitably Silverstein-esque! I'm proud of it regardless. :)

Here is the text of the poem:

-

JOE HILLS

A puppet is Juppet

A felt little guy

That felt is swell

And svelte

And blue as the sky.

But try as I might

I can't help but think

All that felt

Must swelt

In a Nashville July!

(Happy Hermitcraft stream weekend! A fine weekend to donate to Gamer's Outreach)

Where the Sidewalk Ends is a 1970s book of poetry by Shel Silverstein. Each poem is accompanied by a whimsical ink drawing also done by Silverstein.

The poetry is fantastical and imaginative, often written from a child-like perspective. Though the poetry sometimes touches on darker themes, it does so from a thoughtful place and the collection is enjoyable for people of all ages.

Even if you aren't someone who likes poetry, I highly recommend picking up Where the Sidewalk Ends or A Light in the Attic. They are both wonderful.

Style references:

Every poem in the book has a cute drawing to accompany it. Here is the poem from the above image:

THE ACROBATS

I'll swing

By my ankles,

She'll cling

To your knees

As you hang

By your nose

From a high-up

Trapeze.

But just one thing, please,

As we float through the breeze-

Don't sneeze.

The illustrations for Where the Sidewalk Ends are whimsical with sparse, stippled shading and cartoonish characters

The lineart of these drawings is thick and a little messy but still easily readable even when the subject of the drawings is unusual (which is pretty much all of them)

of the many injustices put forth toward the show by fans i think the most overall damaging and telling of a complete lack of critical viewership is the idea that sam riegel builds his characters with nothing more than the bit in mind. like you are only telling on yourself if you think characters like scanlan shorthalt and veth brennato are one-dimensional and depthless

> Rose: Confess to Kanaya!

Rose: I love you.

Kanaya: Y Yo Ati, Rose.

> Rose: Get swallowed by something that looks like Venom.

> Rose: Get sent to super hell!

> Kanaya: Have something very gay and homophobic happen to you.

Kanaya: ...

What an absolute diversity loss. You find yourself thinking "love loses!"

WIP Wednesday, because I cannot believe this concept has wrested me away from the WIP I had ONLY JUST RETURNED TO. anyway:

“It’s been a long time since you and I got up to anything by ourselves…” she cautioned. “I know,” he said. “And neither of us are very tanky.” “No,” he agreed. “But we are clever. Ludinus Da’leth is as well, but we have more intelligence between the two of us than he does. And as far as anyone knows, the man is dead. This is as unguarded as he’ll ever be.” “And you’re okay doing this without Beau? Or Fjord and Jester?” He hesitated. “They’re…busy. With their lives. And Beauregard deserves time left alone to build her family. I can grant her that.” "So it's time for the other Empire Kids to ride," she said. Once upon a time, Veth Brenatto might have been too scared to go traverse a dangerous, unexplored continent or fight an ancient archmage of unrivaled power. But tonight, all he saw was fervent excitement in her warm brown eyes. "Ja," he said, barely holding back a smile. "It seems so." “All right, then,” she said, a note of satisfaction to her voice. “If this is what you want, let’s do it.” He breathed a sigh of relief. “Gut.”
