charm.

This one is 3 layers.....I started with yellow to establish a ground.  Then I added the red underlayer to bring out elements I saw in the yellow layer.  The third layer was the figure.  I had intended to place the figure on the other side of the image but made a "mistake" - not sure if it is better this way but I kind of like it.

This is the poem I wrote last night..........

When I was five

I said to  myself

What does it mean to be five

Then I ran outside and pretended

I cannot rememeber what I pretended

But I am pretty sure it was fun

And there were other kids

Who pretended with me

Oh yeah now I remember

I was a lion

We played born free

Which was a movie about lions

One guy wanted to be the top lion

Who was a girl lion

I did not get the irony of this then

I was just five

So when I was five

I played being a lion

But also thought about the ramifications

Of pretending

So I kind of missed out being a lion totally

I was only partly a lion

The other part was me

Thinking about why I was a lion

Now I am in my bedroom

Trying to remember

If any of this is real

Or just something that seems like a cool poem

That I can write down

Before I forget it

After thinking it sounded pretty good

When I was five

Or when I was five did I know I would write this

When I was five dozens of times over

Thinking of the moment

When I was no longer a lion

When I was five

I wished I was in space

I wished I was in space

And I was.
