Kelly Deschler Poet Pantoum

To Draw

To draw is something …
I could never do well,
The joy a picture can bring 
The stories it can tell

I could never do well
Drawing freely on my own,
The stories it can tell
Remains for me unknown 

Drawing freely on my own
Pencil, paint and line,
Remains for me unknown 
A skill that is not mine

Pencil, paint and line
An artist with a brush,
A skill that is not mine
A talent you cannot rush

An artist with a brush
The joy a picture can bring,
A talent you cannot rush
To draw is something …
