Penelope went for a walk in the park
Her mommy warned her, "Be home before dark."
She skipped down the road and picked a few flowers
It wouldn't be dark for a couple more hours.
Penelope saw a girl sitting next to a tree
Was she crying? Did she scrape her knee?
She skipped up to check on her, maybe she'd make a new friend.
Little did she know, she was about to meet her end.
The girl's skin was green and her eyes were all white
She grabbed Penelope's arm and took a big bite.
The whole world went dark and Penelope fell
but she awoke later to a delicious smell.
Looking through her new eyes, she spotted a boy
Eating him up would bring her so much joy.
If you see Penelope, don't turn your back
or you might become her next tasty snack.
Penelope was born on September 28, 2021. She was inspired by a drawing I made long before that. For many years, I thought about turning my drawing into sculptures, but instead, they became dolls and Penelope was the first.

Lover from Long Past
Lover from long past, how are you doing now I wonder? Does your long hair still brush the chair when you sit down? Do you still have the same laugh as I remembered from high school? Have you... got married... and have a soulmate and sweet children to put a smile onto your face every hour of the day?

Very Well written!
A very dark and creative effort, and a great way to promote Penelope and her friends.
