I COLORED OUTSIDE THE LINES, DID IT ALL THE TIME, COLORS WERE PRETTY, BACK OF HIS BOOKS SO DIRTY, HE BROKE THEM, WITH A VICTIMLESS CRIME, HE DID IT ALL THE TIME, I COLORED OUTSIDE THE LINES, PRAYING HE WOULD GO BLIND, BROKEN CRAYONS, STILL COLOR FINE, THEY DO IT, ALL THE TIME. ~VICKIE THAYER~

Vicki, your poem is a powerful testament to resilience and the enduring spirit of creativity. The metaphor of the broken crayons and the vivid imagery you’ve used create a compelling narrative that resonates deeply. - Blessings, Daniel

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
