Another verse, Gothic this time...

Well, I don't know if I'm any good at this 'ere poetry, but needs must when the devil drives!

Folley's Dream

I created a poster that felt like it needed a verse. I was feeling a bit gothic and came up with:
In fright she fled
From love foreseen.

The fears she felt,
The tears she shed
- blood red! My heart!

In flight from Folly's Dream

I say... Mysterious and romantic, like an old movie. Always getting better and better. Keep writing, my friend! I almost could see her face.

You're just a romantic at heart, I can tell :) Maybe creativity can come out it in all forms... if you just get the chance. I'm sure you see the connection between your artwork and your job. Yes?

Lovely! A few months ago I had a collaboration with a fellow blogger - she sent me photos, I wrote epigrammatic captions. It was most enjoyable! It is a wonderful thing when the visual and the written come together.

Thanks for the feedback, Irish Gumbo. So what "epigrammatic caption" would you have written for this one?

Hey Betty, thanks! I'm really glad you liked them so much. You must be a romantic at heart ;)

I've asked my muse for some more - we'll have to wait and see...
