Jobless Photoshop :D

This is a drawing by Sarah Mensinga (http://www.sarahmensinga.com/ ) that I came across in our college computer. I sat and colored it in an hour or so, just because it's been so long since I last colored anything in Photoshop...oh, how I missed it!

I did this with a mouse, using only the burn and dodge tool for shadows and highlights...it was fun ^__^

The drawing belongs to Sarah Mensinga and I do not own it in any way.

I don't consider myself to be a poet in any sense, I usually leave that to my more philosophical friends...but sometimes, I feel the need to write things down. Just fleeting feelings that are hard to explain...

The Earth's Lament

I recall the days,

not long ago

(at least to you and I)

when my children,

then still young at heart,

had time to see the sky

--your magic was the subject, then,

of lore now long-forgotten

and none ever knew

if you were made

of cheese or wild tree cotton--

they knelt to me

and gave me thanks

and tilled, and sowed and reaped

then looked to you,

for in their eyes

in magic were you steeped

and see them now,

these children grown,

who once used to adore

they cover me

in bright little lights

and I feel your light no more

Sometimes I go up to the terrace when the power is out in the summer heat...and the Moon is the brightest and most beautiful thing...I wonder if anyone else is looking at her, or are we all too busy in our lives...?

-Keep smiling

Kitty! ^__^

Another installment in the Gijika project. This one is Delcatty. I tried to match her pose to the Emerald sprite.

Hope you like it!

Gijinka Project

Some time ago, I tried to start up a personal Gijinka project, working my way through Pokemon I really like. This is Glaceon.

Hope you like it :)

Planning to do a few more, but not working on any right now.

...mellowing out...

Today, I shall present the one and FIRST poem I have EVER written...in my life. It is entitled:

Gone

I saw a mirage, a world of peace.
The birds did sing, the flowers did tease.

Children built castles, on the beach,
Just out of the tide's blue reach.

Children built castles, in the air,
With open hearts and not a care.

The trees reached up, the sky reached down,
I gazed around, in Joy, I drowned.

The laughter rang as peals of bells,
Carried along by the wind's every swell.

The Earth was bathed, in the Sun's gold rays,
The minutes stretched out into beautiful days.

The scent of Lavender and Vanilla flows free.
Take it all in, there is no fee.

A voice calls out from Heaven above,
'Children all mine, let there be Love.'

Everyone's soul sings but one hymn,
Bringing forth light that never goes dim.

The flutter of a butterfly, a giggle, a sigh;
I heard them all as time passed me by.

I shed a tear for what I had lost,
But was it "lost" if I had it not?

I opened my eyes to gray and black,
Realized that I was back.

Then, I thought I heard a maiden's song.
When I turned around...
the Mirage was Gone...

Yup...the first poem I've ever written. It's clumsy in a lot of places because I'm not really a poet...I'd rather write good old fiction any day. It suits me better! I'm not really the philosophical type...

day 1, blog 1

Hi!! Sooo...pretty much new here...I don't exactly have much to say right now but, I'm sure that, with time, I'll start spewing words endlessly like I tend to! Until then...
