Summary: Yvonne as a girl.
Date: Halloween 1975.
Notes: I... don't even know. It started as a prose piece, then became a sonnet and now it's half that and half a Babylon rhyme. idk. Enjoy.


Her dress is the red of blood, fresh blood, and her skin as white as cream.

She has painted the nails on her hands and feet a shiny lacquered green.

Green for the poisoned apples and the sky before a storm.

Red for the blood that's spilled this night and mischief yet unborn.

Her hair is the blonde of innocence, her eyes are a sunny blue.

Her movements filled with a studied grace and promises untrue.

She wears her heart upon her sleeve, but that heart is a lie;

She wears her spirit in her eyes, and for it grown men vie.

There's a darkness growing in her mind that no light can disperse.

There's an anger hiding inside her that all her sins rehearse.

There's a twist within her smile bright that no one yet has seen.

There's a wickedness within her eyes, a foul and vicious sheen.


For there are scars upon her soul that no herb found can heal;

She will not see that any life besides her own is real.

Oh, Yvonne. Such a pretty little package of twisted. You paint her so lovely, but there's something "off" to let readers know she's not just your storybook heroine, but quite the opposite.
