She's No Scarecrow
A Zejel Inspired By A Brilliant Artwork By Carl B Parker, and for the Vocal "Say It Plainly" Challenge
Introduction
Carl B Parker is an amazing artist, husband of the wonderful Misty Rae, and this is another amazing piece by him that spoke to me, with its almost Poe-like darkness.
This is my fifth piece inspired by Carl's work. You can find him on Facebook here:
This is a zejel
The music is "Lady In Black" by Uriah Heep

Why Wiked: For Good is Undeservingly the ‘worse movie’
So… off the bat, we’re about to delve into something ridiculous. Just so we’re clear on that, ok? The first thing anyone that knows a thing about these dual movies… knows… is the original movie and sequel were shot together.

Love how your poetry compliments the painting 🥰
Love it! And thank you for the shout out. It's been a while since someone has referred to me as "wonderful." 🤣
Great poem, totally relatable to the painting and a new form of poetry that I had not heard of as well? - outstanding Mike.
I love it the arts fab too ♦️♦️♦️
Fabulous work Mike! 💕
You are so right the image is Poe-like, and your poem is one that is thoughtful and makes one think about who she really is. Good job.
