This was from an earlier class where we had a professor who allowed us to look up poems in a specific book of poems. For this I choose William Shakespeare - Sonnet 66
It read as quote this:

"Tir'd with all these, for restful death I cry,
As, to behold desert a beggar born,
And needy nothing trimm'd in jollity,
And purest faith unhappily forsworn,
And gilded honour shamefully misplac'd,
And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted,
And right perfection wrongfully disgrac'd,
And strength by limping sway disabled,
And art made tongue-tied by authority,
And folly, doctor-like, controlling skill,
And simple truth miscall'd simplicity,
And captive good attending captain ill.
Tir'd with all these, from these would I be gone,
Save that, to die, I leave my love alone."

These words hold a very dark and depressing poem though speaker's aggravation and exhaustion with the world. Shakespeare uses several poetic techniques. It includes but not limited to alliteration and anaphora.
The use of alliteration is when words appear close together and begin or at least begin with the same sound. Like for example "beggar born' & "needy nothing" in lines two and three.

Digress past the poetic jargon and skills I enveloped all of my cards when constructed (Being a paper with the words on the outside and have stapled onto cardboard box pieces.) This image is a moodboard I developed for this project. Each image in the circles and squares display a meaning to specific lines from the poem. Thinking also of how the elegance of how displaying despair but having use pattern of a hexagonal pattern with a red inkling while having a Vinyette inside the center radius of the shape. The use of Baskerville font would be a simple but well-versed font to use. - The original prototype - is lost to the past though moodboards help maintain resemblance to the poem.
