What Momma Left Me

My haiku poem is titled Family Doom to capture how Serenity feels about her parents. She continues to come back to the thought that she is doomed to turn out like her momma. Her Momma let the abuse go and did not stand up to it. She then lied about Danny hurting her, just like her momma. She again wonders if she will have the same end result and turn out like her momma, her family. 

I chose to create my visual poem as a continuous shape because of Serenity's continuous wondering in the book. She keeps coming back to that thought. The heart was created as a way to show the love that Momma had for Serenity, despite her staying with her abusive husband. The helix shape is to represent Serenity's tie to her mother that has doomed her to turn out just like her mother, her family.  I chose the colors of grey and dark blue to represent the gloom of the situation.
