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 …

A good Pantoum. The first line is nicely repeated at the end.

"The joy a picture can bring." Thank you for sharing lines that rhyme. Neat little story playfully done.
