Mushroom Mini with Silver Holo Drips II

H: 4"

W: 4"

(2023) 

In the forest deep and dark, Where the mushrooms grow, There lies a beauty so stark, That it draws you in, oh so slow.

Poisonous they may be, But their colors are so bright, Dripping rainbows like thick honey, A mesmerizing sight.

Their allure is undeniable, A trap set by nature's hand, A deadly beauty so reliable, That it's hard to withstand.

For those who venture too close, A fatal end they'll meet, But for those who keep their distance, A sight that can't be beat.

So beware the mushrooms that shine, With colors so vibrant and bold, For their beauty may be divine, But their poison can be cold.
