Must not forget your Private Investigator who’s probably investigating crimes as I write on rain sodden streets …

And smoked like a chimney… 😂 At some point it became a running joke, and then I just kept adding cigarettes everywhere. I swear, at one point a character lit one, said three lines, and put it out again like it was a stage prop.

I have quite a bit of cleaning up to do in that mini series. 😄

I thought I commented on this but I guess I didn't 😅

I really loved this piece, even though it hurt my heart.

I love Curio, he’s an amazing magical being and tied to the carnival. Mariette is a well developed character too I just don’t know if their story is to be together or if she is the catalyst for his sad back story.

I don't think I've ever read a poem like this before.

I put together a few different poetic elements to create this, I’m not sure it’s a literary work of genius or anything but it did what i wanted for the character. ✨🦋

Fantastic. I loved that.

I had to play around with a few different styles before I settled on this Mixture that could manage to be both painfully sad and sorrowfully angry at the same time. ✨🦋

Spectacular!

Thanks for reading, I played with poetry styles for this one, I used 3 different techniques trying to get that sad hurt anger cadence in there. ✨🦋

There’s no mistaking there’s clearly intentioned, focused well-wrought craft throughout!

Oh, Curio... I'll come hang with you, dude.

That ungrateful bitch... 😏

Verdant Butterfly's avatar
