She likes
to play with fire,
hitchhikes
her way
from flame to flame.
While they
shape her
love hearts out of
paper.

I use lots of different methods – photography, painting, drawing, digital art…and sometimes a combination of each. This one is hand drawn, photographed, filtered and layered using a computer art program. Thanks for your interest π

Thank you again, Azul. The art often takes longer to create than the poem which is odd because I only think of it as being there to support the writing… π

Loved it in many levels: the capricious heart, the offerings, and the sound of flapping paper, like singed wings of a night moth. Imagery is perfect and this form has your style married to it!
