Penelope went for a walk in the park
Her mommy warned her, "Be home before dark."
She skipped down the road and picked a few flowers
It wouldn't be dark for a couple more hours.
Penelope saw a girl sitting next to a tree
Was she crying? Did she scrape her knee?
She skipped up to check on her, maybe she'd make a new friend.
Little did she know, she was about to meet her end.
The girl's skin was green and her eyes were all white
She grabbed Penelope's arm and took a big bite.
The whole world went dark and Penelope fell
but she awoke later to a delicious smell.
Looking through her new eyes, she spotted a boy
Eating him up would bring her so much joy.
If you see Penelope, don't turn your back
or you might become her next tasty snack.
Penelope was born on September 28, 2021. She was inspired by a drawing I made long before that. For many years, I thought about turning my drawing into sculptures, but instead, they became dolls and Penelope was the first.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Very Well written!
A very dark and creative effort, and a great way to promote Penelope and her friends.
