Best Drawing Poems

She’s always drawing mermaids, and they bear
resemblance to their artist, for each one
is but a girl. Dark, wavy, thick, long hair
hides pre-pubescent breasts; Elysian
the islands drawn for all her mermaids seem . . . 
so different from her own reality. 
The islands that she colors...

There's a pesky mosquito hoverin' around our ears
If he keeps it up he'll soon be splattered in smears
T-Buzz tries to draw our blood
When he gets hit with a THUD!
We'll celebrate his demise with a party ~ Cheers!

All newborns move from womb to crib;
and toddlers leave the floor to play in yards.
Most youngsters go from home to school,
learning a new milieu some with ease.

Our kids both young and old contend with space.
While teens assemble, needing gangs and groups,
our college students age as...

Drawing us 

~

As I walk this path,
I draw the night sky
on my skin,
cosmic outlines,
embedded darkness,
the softest touch
of heart shaped ink,
and I imagine you
tracing a similar image,
caressing these dreams 
while wishing upon 
the brightest star
glistening above,
walking the same path
in your part of the world
drawing us closer...

Autumn dreams adorned the meadow
in a starless blue dome at night.
The moon, like covering stream flow,
Warmly spreadsheet was silver light.

With worn-out tone of joy and love.
Autumn dreams adorned the meadow.
Dark flocks of birds flap from above.
From across the moon's golden glow

Dreamy forms with...

A friend of mine always tells
Her modus operandi never fails
If it's her intention
To draw a man's attention
She always talks to someone else....

Beautiful woman
Posing
Can't do her justice
Just want her gesture
Her grace
In a line
In a colour
Her essence
Elusive...

Written on schoolwork
‘Boadicea didn't fight Martians’
Teacher was cruel

I was only about 8 years old and the teacher had actually written that phrase on my history schoolwork and I was mortified. I look back now and think how cruel it was as I had tried my...

DRAWING WITH INK AND BRUSH

By the corner of the room,
there you'd find the comely girl who draws
and paints with just her ink and brush.

She looks and observes carefully,
and then draws not only what the eyes see
but also the souls of men.

Others like her draw and...

Lovely lady reclining
Pencil won't do what it should
Follow the curves of femininity
Absorb in her grace and her soul
The challenge of capturing an image
Of perfection in body and mind
Will ever be the task of the artist
'A rainbow to catch and to find'...

Wearing her beauty so simply
The model with confident pose
Draws you into her gesture
Invites you to capture her soul
Asks you to paint in her essence
You tell her that that is your goal!...

I love to sketch with a pen and ink;
to feel the flow of the lines that I think;
 as they pour their way down my arm to my hand
and softly on the parchment land.

I love to sketch the shadows deep,
as from hand to pen point...

without suitcases
    they surf skies drawing beauty

she had a dream
of seaside escapades
and seabreeze in her hair
this little girl of three
landlocked
utterly determined
to make her dream come true
with a fistful of crayons
she brought to life her pony

Ocean Spirit came to life;
From an Aboriginal gentleman's past life.
We yarned a lot with reciprocation;
Societies problems and invasion.

This he stated with no remotion-

"We are the first people, We came from the Ocean"

For this dedication; I drew this spirit
For his story is requisite.

"Since the beginning of...
