>Given one day to do an assignment in photography class
>I have to "photograph a poem or song"
I can't think of anything that's not cringe worthy kinda stuff like pic related or some black and white photo of me in pain with some fucking shitty linkin park lyrics photoshopped in.
I'll probably try and take a picture of a cracked egg and call it humpty dumpty, but I want to do something good.. I have a lifesize poseable skeleton I can use for something too maybe.
Have any of you done something like this? What did you do?

Songs would be an easier choice, personally. Just a frame of reference, let's use the Rolling Stones as an example. Specifically, their song "Paint It Black." The very first lyrics are "I see a red door, and I want it painted black."
So as a photo, you could just take the lyric literally as a photo of someone in the process of painting a red door black.
That's a very simple (and pretty crappy) way of doing it, so I'd stretch out your creativity and see how complex you can make the photo in reference to a specific song.
Bonus points if it's a song, band, or genre your teacher likes.
I hope that helps.

Use "Melancholy Man" by The Moody Blues.
You can literally do a sad photo of yourself without lyrics.

Here's some idea I thought up in a second.
David Bowie's Sound and Vision, a man sitting on a bed, an open door visible in the background, perhaps a white line (meaning cocaine senpai) on some bedside table next to the man. He might be looking at the cocaine, or generally at the floor (but the floor at the edge of the room, not just straight downwards), in a look of surrendered despair. He wants to stop taking that cocaine, but he won't and he knows it.
If that helps you I can try thinking of some other things. Some songs lend themselves very well to creating images, you can listen to them and something just comes up.

Rolling Stones-guy here, David Bowie's music is pretty perfect for that kind of stuff. You gave a much better example by using him.
Go downtown during the rush and find someone that looks out of place. Call the photo "Mad World".
or you could be lazy and do a war memorial theme with the poem flanders field
Take a picture of a baby,
Bam - Justin Bieber's 'Baby.'
Or a person reading a dictionary,
Boom - justin's 'what do you mean'
