Curiosity comes with a price. -Michelle Liew

Mara's curious eyes, in low light gleam
She chases thieves through dim moonbeams
She cases halls with weathered heart
Unveils truths to entomb
Pays wisdom's high price
Her knowledge cuts
To the bone
A pained
Slice.

Wonderfully done, Michelle <3
Ooh I love all the layers of this! Well done!
Very clever Nonet… curiosity often does come at a high price.😳
Very cool! I love the moonbeam reference!
Very cool Nonet. 💕 I loved the little video. Did you use Canva or something else?
That sure does sound painful. Loved your poem!
