Art and Crafts

Tina learnt to knit her own sweater Instructions followed to the letter Many stitch she did drop Gave too many a strop When made looked like been through a shredder Next she wanted to learn to crochet Make flowers tied into a bouquet Got her yarn in a twist Knots and ties would not shift But did look like a crochet toupee Decided to learn how to hand sew With pretty ribbon make a hairbow Kept pricking her finger Soreness pain did linger Her fingers now size of her elbow Not to give up, tried live art drawing Felt that was her natural calling Excited and nervous Felt hot as a furnace Of male model on all fours posing No dangly bits was shown to be drawn Disappointed felt little bit conned She drew him very well All her friends she did tell As an artist was were she belonged. 18.12.20

Tina went through quite an odyssey there! Interesting idea of telling a story in limerick-style, Emilia! Season's best, Gershon

Thank you Gershon, I am struggling with this form so what ever pops in into my head I will try and turn it into something. Just feel I am losing the plot a bit lol. Emilia : )
