Bob the Goldfish

The Goldfish of Blackwater Manor

There are a few myths we should clear up.

The three second memory. A charming idea, if one must live inside a glass bowl without space to turn around a short memory would be sanity saving. Perhaps the pervasiveness of this myth stems from our own wishes to leave our mistakes in the past with a quickness.

I can assure you Bob has no such constraints upon his memory. Though he does have a very different life than the average goldfish. Somewhere in the synapses and brain matter s the memory of the shadow of mammoths darkening his particularly favorite spot in the pond. #kidlit #childrensbook #fantasyart

Goblincore Watercolor Emily Dickinson Painting

Original watercolor by children’s book author Monica Michelle. The Queen of the barn owls sits on top of a moss covered tree staring at a witch offering in a fairy circle of candles. A fox sleeps in its burrow etched over by a finch. An Emily Dickinson quote in gold typography.

A Murmur in the Trees – to note –

Not loud enough – for Wind –

A Star – not far enough to seek –

Nor near enough – to find –

A long – long Yellow – on the Lawn –

A Hubbub – as of feet –

Not audible – as Ours – to Us –

But dapperer – More Sweet –
