Description She talked to rocks, asking them if they’d be happy
To leave their home for her newest installation piece
She cried sometimes for no reason other than
She felt like having a good cry

Her house was covered in her students’ drawings
She said the best art was produced from innocence
She went mad once, and painted canvas after canvas
In furious strokes of black

The soft blue world of youth at last faded, she grew old
People shook their heads when they saw her
And whispered “poor dear” under their breath
But she was never poor

Her love for everything and everyone never died
It was swept in all directions like a summer breeze
Making people smile without knowing why
But the river rocks know

This has been featured in my journal!

A journey through my favorites.Because last time, this was so much fun!  Come on, let's take a walk through my favorites.
I want to start with my most recent fav- a piece that is an entry for a contest I entered- The ABC's of the Apocalypse Contest.  This one is my personal fav.


Now I want you to see my oldest fav!

This one is the first deviation on my 100th page of favs.  I love the sense of movement in it.

This one is the last deviation on page 150 of my favs.  Great symmetry!

All the Lit. deviations from page 66

I found this one on page 122.  This is TheLunaLily and she is awesome.

This one is from page 4.  Purple20 sure does take some killer macro shots.

Hello, sir Bark. I hope you are well (=

I'm quite jealous that you pumped something like this out in five minutes. I can't seem to think lately. Can I ask, did she kill herself?

Bark In reply to Hfeather53 [2014-09-06 07:36:21 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I haven't had many five-minute wonders, it was a fluke. And no, she died quite naturally.

isn't it funny how poetry can be interpreted different ways?... either that or i'm just slow lol

Sometimes what's on your mind reads into the piece. You're not slow, and you know it. Live a long life... looking back, it will have been worth it.
