Premium Member Colored Pencils

Outspoken colored pencils
Drawing some beautiful eyes
On a soft spoken woman
Bringing much delight

Untitled #340 / Colored Pencils

Colored pencils in an artist’s even hand
sketch rolling fields of wavy grass
sprouting from the barren plain
of barren pages.
Now she reaches for Burnt Sienna.

Today a simple blessing that comes from every artist
who work with paints or pencils or chalks…

Life is much more colorful
when we use every crayon in the box

End

At the end of a rainbow
Leprechauns see gold
My brother sees video games
My father sees music 
And me?
I see pencils
Yellow pencils
Yet what do the rich see? 
The lonely?

Luxury

I shall splurge
on a box
of black
pencils –
pointy promises that hold
treasures of words.
The rubber end
erases my mistakes,
a luxury
life does not
afford us.

Premium Member The Jam Jar


A small shadow
has settled upon
the glass jam jar
on the desk, amongst 
a frozen swirl
of pencils
that are waiting patiently 
for inspiration
to seize a hand
and be picked up.

PENUMBRA…something you hide under when it’s raining pens and pencils

IMBUE….spelchek for “I’m blue”

ELIXER….what her dog does when she gives him a snack.

Wield my words with care

Pencils with sharpened points

Poisionous as lead.

Premium Member Sketching



I adore sketching birds and flowers
spending long hours on the details.
Colored pencils give life,
and leafy backgrounds too.
A nice calm hobby
to pass the day.
Love to show
my friends
too !

Premium Member A Metaphoric Blue

Amid the where’s and when’s and whys
The can’ts and won’ts and whiney sighs
Sit they with pencils as they paint
In words of metaphoric blue
In vain attempt to tightly grasp
The moment as it flashes past

Rush Day Love

School Girl Charm
Rushing to See Him
Peeking Over Collared Sweaters
On Whims You Blush
Warm flutters Chris Cross
your Daytime dreams… 
Tossing Pencils in bags
The FIRST in class
He waits, then comes 1ST Dates

Religion and Defense

religion is the greatest marketer

of the industrial defense engine;

all believers are enemies of each other

and that makes for a great god of death

and astronomical gains in revenue

Premium Member If I had the Time

If I had the time
I would make sculptures out of pencils
You are retired I said
Why don’t you have the time?
TV and computer games are stealing it he said.
I created a gorilla out of pencils while he watched TV

Undeterred


scribbling poems in ether

for all to read or seek

fingering no pencils or keys

harmonising Heartstrings deep

trialing verses whisper, stirred

Stand in Own Power, Undeterred

School

children working
pencils writing
faces serious
sometimes smiling
teachers teaching
children learning
in their eyes
you see the yearning
the knowledge
reaches the mind sometimes in the heart
for them to grow
it must enter every part

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!

Premium Member rainbow girls birthday party

Rainbow birthday girl dressed in her striped socks and shoes of pink
She put down her pencils, tossed out her paints and ink.
Concentrated on her party, her presents, her guests and such.
Many gave her rainbow gifts which she loved very much!

Writing

Back then you wrote with pencils,
At the bottom of these are erasers,
These are for your mistakes,
All the errors in your paper,
Then you so eagerly write with pens,
Words in inks are hard to erase!
You should have taken your time with the pencils…

Premium Member Mrs Generosity

Mrs. Generosity gives me Kleenex, but that’s not good enough.
She offers me pencils, markers, stickers and other school stuff.
Some people do not know her as well as I do. Too bad for them.
She is a friend to me, a cousin, a delight, a wonder and a gem.
