I Think
I think
that I will ink in
my drawing of a pink
flamingo, and as the ink
sinks
into the page,
the flamingo is born.
Then I colored in a unicorn
I had outlined already.
But this time around my palette was rainbow.
Maybe a little LGBTQ+, etc.
-or just cute.
And he flew off
the page.
Henceforth, I shaded in
an allegator
that had waded into shore.
He had been
just a doodle before.
But now that he was complete,
he reminded me of
a dinosaur.
And then he sunk back into the water,
and swam away and like a dinosaur
was seen no more.
