Zentangles Are Fun For Me

Zentangles are relaxing to me. 
Those spirals, X’s, whorls so neat
Zentangles are fun for thee
They give my heart a slower beat

Just take a small box, two by two
Drawing several on a page can be fun
Inches not yards, is what you do.
Then make a pattern in each one

Diagonals are fun to doodle and try
Make a small slash at the halfway mark
Then take a pencil and make an eye
Draw at a picnic table at the park

Pretty soon kids will see what you do
They will come closer to truly see your lines
They will wander over to say things to you
Show them how to relax using their inner mines

This is a zentangle, you tell them true.
It can help you relax when you are upset.
Just pick up a pencil, and I will show you.
They will show you some new ideas, I’ll bet.

There are some wonderful Zentangles. I bought a book once that shows different patterns. You have told a fun story here that kind of grows like a zentangle.
