There’s a storm inside.
Heart palpitates rapidly-
breathless and dizzy.
Tornado grasps me.
My feet off the floor, I soar
high above the trees.
The earth grows smaller.
Flying past planets and stars,
I inhale moonlight.
Beams radiating
from my body and bursting
out of every pore.
I succumb to you,
spent and exhilarated,
riding your rocket.

That’s a nice haiku series. I like how they work together too. My favorite is the third one. I especially like the line about inhaling moonlight. 🙂

Yes, breathe in the moonlight; especially when you’re scared of the dark. It works wonders to shine the beams from your nostrils so you can see that there are no monsters. Thank you so much, BunK!

That’s a cool idea. It reminds me a little of the cat bus’s eyes in the movie Totoro.

WEIRD! I’ve never seen the movie, but just today, I drew an illustration and sent it to Fly that was based on the movie (it’s quite dark):

That is a pretty dark version of Totoro, I must admit. I think I can top it for terror, though. (WARNING: this picture is spine-chilling.) 🙂

Hahaha! Ronald McDonald is a clown, and I think clowns are very scary. You know what?! I also drew a clown today and sent it to Matt. I’m not kidding!!
The Totoro drawing was based on that dark one I sent you, but I did change it up a bit.
I wish I could post both drawings, but we haven’t published them, yet, so that’s the only reason why I can’t show you the evidence. 😦
The drawings don’t scare me — you do! 😀 Stop reading my mind, BunK.
