dark side of the moon part #4

As any little kid in school, I did art and crafts but the teacher always kept an eye on me.



pencil/ink sketch on paper by dsnake1



dark side of the moon part #4



I made a frog out of cockle shells glued together. It was a lovely thing, with two very dark eyes out of black beans. I painted its mouth blood red, and its body and head a livid green. I left it on its own to dry. A fly flew past it. I swear, the frog drooled.

I seem to have heard a faint ribbet ribbet! The teacher was quite right, I'm sure.

Teachers seem to know just exactly which kids to keep their eyes on. Love your frog!

I am certain that I saw the frog drooled, too. And trust me, bloody drool trickling down a cockle shell chin isn't something anyone forgets quickly. Cough.

That blood red mouth seemed to take itself quite seriously! Let's hope it sticks to thinking about insects.

The fly was like the opposite of a cherry on top!

Great drawing and had to laugh at your last line "A fly flew past it. I swear, the frog drooled."

Magaly,

no, it's something out of a horror film. 😨

Chrissa,

thank you! 😀


Rommy,

well, it was supposed to be a little dark poem, but yeah, it probably sticks to thinking about insects. 😬
