  3. Agreed.

    But so many artists are never recognized until they are dead, especially if they take their own life. Who knows; maybe she did.

  4. Interesting coupling of words and imagery. Artistic yet pensive.

  5. Some burn so bright for such a short time, i think they just burn themselves out too quickly.

  6. Perhaps she was too engrossed but hasty. It could have been averted!

  11. As I read more responses to this prompt, I become aware of the back story. Not knowing it, I took the prompt in a direction all my own.

    I think you did a masterful job here in very few words.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
