Premium Member A Vista of Fire

     her mind 
     a box of 
     melted crayons
     her hands 
     a vista of fire
     magic wands     
     raked over
     the coals

Beautiful Fall

Beautiful walls
A never ending fall
Colored in mist
Drowning in kisses
It’s a beautiful lie
A never ending life
Drawn in crayons of
Broken love.

My
three
year old

grandson favors the black crayon
he always picks it first out of the lineup
even his rainbows have thick strips of black
to him black crayons matter.

broken souls
like broken crayons
all are loved the same
It's the color of your soul
that distinguishes
the mood you set
to color the world

eyes show
subjection,

and 
a

acceptance-
yet beauty shines
through.

colored blarney stone with neon crayons
so much for gift of gab
I just hailed down a cab
and ran over that fairytail icon

Elon Musk has more money than brains
So he plays with space rockets, not trains
And now he can tweet
That Trump can't be beat
Since he traded his Sharpies for crayons

Outside the Lines

when you pull out your crayons
colour me happy
and when you do 
draw outside the lines

choose the colours 
that are seldom used
then draw from me easy
that which is hardest to find

Premium Member What Is White

faces tinted by 
          the canon of complexion…
             flesh colored crayons


Note – In the early 1960’s the flesh colored
Crayola Crayon was changed to pink beige
            due to “social concerns”.

Giggling

Waking up, no idea who first
seems little bit funny
Tickling child feet
gigli gigli
Pretending wisdom of encyclopedia for goodnight
Collecting favorite colors of crayons
unbreakable inside
Gigglitivly and irrelevant

Premium Member Great Adventure

plastic blocks         
      strewn across the floor

      time playing with my grandkids

Winter

This November morning
I see shivering pine trees
I want to paint a fire to warm them
But I forgot my crayons
Nevertheless
I enter the misty grove
Hug a young yew
With the flames inside me
Ignited by winter of your absence

The Teacher

drinks wine after school
has far too many

eruptions from

	small pitchers
	small bowels

	paper cuts
	budget cuts

	that	 	terrible mother

	racism filtered
	a 6 year old prism

and crayons

	all over

		the floor

Premium Member At the Beach Wit Yellow and Orange

I am at the beach Laid out with two crayons at my feet Colors bearing are yellow and orange Under the sun, hot and warm Were to close together Became BROWN
2/26/20 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2020

Someonesangtheworldshewrote

Her fingers were crayons,pens and brushes
She spoke in coughs and spurts and gushes
she spat out rhymes and cryptoquotes
til someone sang the world she wrote
and named their child that colored poem
   and found her secret way back home.

Artist

Solo artist Snow works throughout night,
silently painting rooftops white,
crayons lawns, pencils in trees
a dazzling shade of white
over his great frieze;
his masterpiece
wins acclaim,
then melts -
shame!

Painting By Numbers

I have some crayons to colour my world,

Blue for a boy and pink for a girl,

Green for the grass

  Grey for the sky,

Red for the father who made me cry,

Yellow for fear,

  Purple for hate,

 Black for the help that came too late!
Form:

Drawing

she was too innocent to understand anything
too small to differ between love and pain
so she learned to express what she felt

she would lock herself in room with her dolls
and take out crayons and began to draw
a mother, a child and a man with big hands

Ye Olde Classoom Days


Let us take a cruise to the great past.
Hold tight, it won't be an easy task.
Look here, pencils and erasers, 
and books to hold, again!
Classrooms, no 'putters,
Loose leaf paper,
New crayons,
Rulers,

Melting Crayons

I have a collection
Crayola dated tins
You punched everyone of them
That's how you win

I finally have courage
To let them go
Eleven years later
A memory I buried below

I love candles
I will make something new
Melting my crayons
Giving them back to you
