After Effect

Despite the darkness,
I am growing.
There's a place inside me knowing.
I learned from you how to survive,
But you didn't teach me how to thrive.
I learned that on my own
Long after I'd grown.

My latest poem.

Caliginosity

Dismay, despair,
Feeling it was unfair,
Standing on the ledge
Just about to fall,
Feel the cutting edge
And feeling so small.

Speedpainting a Hyper doodle! Along came a decoratively deadly spider. Done in Procreate on an iPad Air 4 with the Apple Pencil 2.

Her name is Chuck. She is a beautiful arachnid and can spin a good yarn, just follow the threads...
