Johnise: so HEY!

im going to write a poem and with that poem im going to have motion to go along with it.

kinda to explain what my poem is about..similar to Billy Collin’s “action poems”.

We will film video footage and maybe try some simple stop motion to create a video under Johnise writing her poem. So right now we are just trying to figure out what the poem will be!
