Cross-Eyed but Satisfied!
Tadaaaaaaa! Okay so I am a little proud but I think I'm allowed to be. I finally finished this piece! It is a first time attemot at scratchboard and funnnily it fits every category of the last three IF topics; maybe that is why it took me this long :)Twist (in the ropes and o the marionette theme), Discovery, an Poem (I've had a like image in my mind for the longest time but it was never good enough to draw and by someone analysing the symbolism I realised this is exactly what my poem needed. Triple satisfaction!
Grown-Ups Land
At the doorway of understanding
I hesitate
The world I'll enter is demanding
but I just want to investigate
On the treshold of of responsibility
I falter
My life will change inevitably
and I dont want to alter
One step in doorknob in hand
I fret
this is what they call grown-ups land
and I don't want to go there yet.
