    Reccommend a poem for a short film.....?

    I've got some time on my hands at the moment due to being unemployed and think it's about time I got back to doing some film making while I've got the chance. There is just me and my camera, I don't have access to actors or large amounts of props, so I'm considering creating a visual representation of a poem with a voice-over. The trouble is I'm more a of a classic novel man and have little experience of poetry. I need suggestions of good poems with strong visual themes that might suit a project such as this. I live in a coastal UK city, so poems based in this kind of environment would be best. Also any examples need to be included in your answer or readily available to view online as my jobseekers allowance won't stretch to buying books at the moment. Any suggestions are much appreciated, thanx.
    BTW I'm big on melancholy so keep em dark!

    well I do not encounter much poetry outside of this forum
    so I do not know how much help I will be

    here is a poem I wrote about how crying can be healing

    it should be easy to render in a visual context


    the saline solution
    by
    Kevin Hancock

    Hard bought
    that soft line
    thin red rim
    intense as the passing
    of time
    where bodies cry
    and a tears
    journey
    that long way
    from fears
    across a droplets frolic
    the follicle fields
    that gentle rolling
    plain, here we go
    again
    cross blushing cheek
    from the corner
    of pain
    they leak
    from the soul
    onto the canvas of life
    the color of sorrow
    is clear, in strife
    the saline solution
    emotional pollution
    reinventing the term
    revolution
    avoiding the absolute
    resolution

    if you decide to use this imagery feel free to take any artistic liberties
    I would be flattered if I was able to inspire
    good luck
