Photostory 2

Photostory 2 Inquisitive in nature born But lacking tools to fuel his thoughts His family did not share his gifts Just toiling hard and to exist Hs ebon hair and tiny hand picked up a pencil in the sand Then slowly walked to his abode With rolled up paper from the bread He sat upon a soiled bench And cut his paper into three And with his pencil he did draw his shapes and lines creating art intrinsic to his value sought The soft lead pencil shaded deft he held the paper oe’r his head And smiled, accomplished what he did Photostory Contest Sponsored by Eve Roper November 27, 2017

Oh, this could describe the little boy I was writing about too. I thought that was the most interesting of the three pics. WELL done, Ralph.
