Move about a slice of water
	Roundabout touching the mirror
		Row and roll about
			Fall asleep but never.
Talk about in a silent tone
	Walkabout lifting the willow
		New and Knew about
			Quietly exiting the zone.
Well there you were
	Floating on a small river
		Flowing on a small stone.

Psychological Thriller/Surrealism
The Elephant Man, by David Lynch

		To lick.
To each her own rags,
	Whatever doesn't make sense
		Must click.
			Oh, Granma!
				Never again feel like shit!

Comedy/Social Satire
Scrooge, by Ronald Neame

One goes down the stairs,
	Finds a woman who stares.
	She wears an uneven pair,
		That no dresser can pare.
		She shows what is bare,
			That no painter can bear.
			It pays to know what to wear,
				Unless she is not aware.
				Not everyone has the flair,
				Not everyone can stand the flare.
Oh!                             I must be dreaming on the chair.

Film-poetry/Documentary
A Tale of the Wind, by Joris Ivens

			The movement of my soul - 
			The death of my roots.
