For the longest time the child had gathered bones and dead insects.
Body parts she cut from animals so she could learn how they worked .
Not dead animals the organs had to be alive and pumping
Warm and growing, breathing , flowing.
It had started with a bone collection but she had needed to have more knowledge.
She gathered spiders and insects from the hedge .
Soon cats and dogs went missing , they’d disappear?
Her mother shut her eyes to what she guessed, keeping silent her fear.
The child spent less and less time at home
She preferred to be in the woods foraging on her own.
Then the odd baby disappeared from it’s cot
The need for learning was all that mattered to the swot.
One day she was gone, she did not return home
The child had decided it was time to roam.
With necklaces of eyes and ears and trinkets made of bone
She traveled the word her skills to practice and hone.
Lock your windows , close your doors
She is out there crossing fields and moors
She is bigger now and stronger
Only harvests what she needs, keeps her donors alive longer
What made the child want to kill this way
The thirst for knowledge one might say.
Or maybe pure evil invaded her whole
She was such a beauty in body but not in soul.
Beware when out on day or night
Beware those eyes so angelic a sight .
Run from the clink of bone and tooth
She will not spare you and that is the truth!

Your words just match the pictures so well, it’s as if they were made for them. Well done!
Also, do you happen to know the name of the artist for the paintings? I forgot her name.

Hi I am glad you enjoyed the little tale, the artist is Audrey Kawasaki if you click on the link under the painting on my post where it says “image here” and it will take you to her page. I love her art. 🤗💜

I love her art as well. It’s a unique portrait, often accompanied with seemingly macabre images that give contrasts the beautifully drawn women. It’s definitely a treat.
What makes it even better is the poem that you made to suit it. You were able to amplify the story that was already being told in the painting and the result is just astounding.
