Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time
there was a prince
his name was Aaron

most of all
he loved to draw
he’d get his ideas
from both day and 
and night dreams
as well as trips in nature

he’d look up at the sky
and see the clouds 
and birds fly free
he’d notice all the 
wonders of the universe  

he’d scamper by the river banks
and love the waves and rocks
he’d walk through forests and
look up at the different trees
how tall they stretch and 
how their leaves have shapes

inspiration circling in the air
finding the perfect spot
he would sit and sketch
to while away the hours
and so this is the way
our wonderful Prince Aaron
would rule over creation
ink wand and sketch pad in hand

Fascinating---how you've penned a portrait of Prince Aaron, introducing him with Once Upon a Time, as if he were going to be a story with a plot, so to speak. Such an interesting, non-Disney-like effect. I like it! :) gw
