turnip

I cook, I bake,
I make a cake…
For sir, for ma’am,
With turkey ham.
Give thanks, give food,
In festive mood.
The joy, the lights,
The holiday nights…

steal the fish,
steal the fish,
hope he doesn’t see it…
take the risk,
take the risk,
bring it home and eat it!
hear the tummy,
hear the tummy,
almost time to feed it…
thank the man,
thank the man,
but hope he doesn’t see it…

A contest submission I created. For the Society of Visual Storytelling’s Inktober challenge. I’m so honored to win this contest. This is also my first time winning an art contest yay!!
The theme is “Sprout”. Which was Day 20’s Inktober prompt.

“A sprout is growing…
Out of a little floor crack.
In a corner of this Marine Musuem.
People browse the dead.
But I look at new life.
Sniff, sniff, touch, touch…
Aren’t the living better than the lifeless?”
