Two Photos By Daniel...The Story of Belle

THE STORY OF BELLE

Belle had been a young thing
with beauty and not much sense
She decided to take a powder
instead of recommence

She left her journal open
her last thoughts for all to see
followed the powder
with a snort of strong whiskey

She barely made it to her bed
where she disrobed shaking
her pose intended to tell
restraints were her own making

Nice work. The two photos tell such a story, and you've brought it together perfectly.

I love that you brought the 2 photos together it's cool seeing how similar they are! I was also going to kill her but I went another direction. So many artist's die this way...

This is one reason I don't journal. You never know when you might accidentally kick the bucket. :)

Dark but a truly fascinating take.

I guess I like wistful and dreamy more . . .

She sure did not have much sense. Snorting the powder followed by whiskey was fatal,bad decision!
