Disclaimer: Tim Burton owns Edward; not me. Though I wish I did.
Anyways, this was an extra credit assignment in my English class. We were studying about Edward Field & how he likes to write poems about horror flicks. So for my poem, I chose Edward Scissorhands, because its one of my favorite films & it features some horror flick themes in it, though its mostly comedy & romance.
Edward Scissorhands
By: Rhea Baxter
There are many kinds of scissors,
But none like Edward's hands.
Sharp and deadly,
Yet artistic and precise.
Though often clumsy,
He had a certain grace
When cutting hair
And making sculptures.
His most beautiful art
Were ice sculptures;
Especially those of his lover,
Kim.
While others saw a demon,
Kim saw an angel
Who only hurts by accident,
But Edward and Kim
Were of two different worlds
And could no longer be together.
However,
Every time it snows,
Edward is chipping ice
For his angel,
Kim,
With the gift of his beautiful hands;
Scissorhands.
I know its not Shakespeare & I realized someone already wrote a poem with the same name title, but hey, it was a school assignment. Anyways, Please R&R.
