Fail - Illustration Friday



interpretation of fail


When Words Fail

I once thought words held everything,
Each dream and thought and sight.
They could express the heart and soul
Make the leaden spirit take flight.
-Sophia White

Nice, fresh style! Reminds me a bit of Lisbeth Zwerger.

mangosteenskin - it's line,form,and color I'm after, rather than portrayal of a "fat lady". Also, images are just as powerful, if not more so, than words (hence the poem).
Thanks for visiting.
