My Hobby

I love to sketch with a pen and ink; to feel the flow of the lines that I think; as they pour their way down my arm to my hand and softly on the parchment land. I love to sketch the shadows deep, as from hand to pen point they creep. The joy of all the special nibs; My pen will use; the page to fill. Oh how Muse does love the ride, as down my arm and pen she slides; her words of wisdom, gushing forth, like rain drops spatter on my porch. The rhythm of the curvatures; the notes that play, they will ensure, A lovely drawing, revealed to me I’ll dive into its reverie.

You are on an eye-opening "roll" and the words are flowing so fast and furiously, I am applauding and Trixie is doing cartwheels, my friend!

I wish I were talented; I just know what I enjoy doing. I like the taste of an occasional new adventure thus, all of the hobbies. One drawback...not enough time in a lifetime to do everything, as I would like. But, thanks so much.

You convey well the satisfaction that writers feel, M.L. And I like the "uncluttered" style of your free verse. Often I will keep revising and editing to reach this point where only the needed words tell the story/message. Nicely done and a great entry for the contest. Winning wishes for you, Carolyn (Hope you'll try the rispetto form for my contest as your style would work well in it.)
