I put a sunglass on, so no one can see me cry

I'm not here for long
I'm just passing by
The world keeps getting harder
But I'm too cool to die

Don't cry, don't cry
Ask me how I feel
And don't ask why

Too Cool To Die - Post Malone


Like a song
Out of tune and out of time
All I needed was a rhyme for you
C'est la vie

"Black Birdcage" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's My Soul's Dark Imagination theme was "Black Birdcage".

I've had artist's block, so I haven't been able to create anything for these challenges for awhile. I am hoping that my dry spell has ended, and my creativity has returned, because I especially like dark themes.

I didn't have many birdcage images, so I did a search for the type I imagined for this theme. I wanted one that was only the round type, but this image was the closest to that, that I could find. The round part was like a bay window in this house shaped birdcage. I also found this beautiful bird, and decided to use it for this.

Note: I've been getting errors trying to leave comments on blogs, but I don't know why. Deann left me a comment, saying I'm being marked as spam.

"Snake (SPA Guest Host)" - Postcard

(Click on image to enlarge)

This week I have the honor of guest hosting Sunday Postcard Art, and I chose the challenge theme "Snake."

When I originally proposed this as a theme idea, I had something in mind for it, but then forgot what it was, so I made a collage. I also didn't realize this year's Chinese New Year is the year of the snake.

It really comes as no surprise
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over

The world keeps getting harder
But I'm too cool to die
