"Abomination Flower."

UPDATED: This was a video of a 6-year-old playing a piano piece, said to be of her own creation and with her own title, "Abomination Flower." The video has been taken down, for whatever reason.

If she really just made that up, then I expect we'll be hearing more from her in the coming decades.

Holy Crap. Dad should produce a Zoey NFT.

I just made it up.

Holy Smoke! That's amazing. Six.

That tune sounds very familiar to me.

"6 year old Zoe Erianna plays her newest creation, “Abomination Flower”. She said it is about a flower going on an eating spree."

I'm picturing an old Disney cartoon. A flower yanks itself out of the ground and goes stomping about in search of victims.

As in Night of The Triffids?

I was thinking of something like this 1932 Disney cartoon.

The title makes me think of Baudelaire’s “Les Fleurs du mal.”

"Abomination Flower."

Sounds like a new strain of weed.

Well he only had three other batches: "Gorilla Panic", "They're coming! They're coming!" and something called "This Is Permanent"?

Totally metal.

That girl has the reincarnated soul of a piano player in a 1910s silent movie house.

I was going to say that I fear for what will become of her in the future, but then I remember overbearing "Tiger Mom" Amy Chua forever reminding us that her mom-bullied girls ended up alright in the end.

Still, I wonder if the girl will be tempted to make the fake tattoos on her arm real some day, and we all know it's all downhill from there.

Here's another 6 year old phenom...just because.

The video seems to have been taken down. Who knows why? Too bad!
