Five Different Crayons Primary colors, plus one, or two please monitor not the lines ~ lest I escape quickly should I cross the black, then turn a page, hold yet wax warming senses with pungent smell of color… tactile measures lend all senses so breathe deep in the ocean’s blue, take share in color green spread shine of a yellow sun, then gray on white as clouds may run but tears won’t run this hue… for wax won’t streak a color’s way, ‘tis not colors spread by water’s say I painted once with chalk on black, as dust filled up my air, then waters colored streamed away, no patience stilled me there… I waxed my way through colors five, plus one or two, and more… where wishing wells and sea-foamed shores filled a bedroom’s floor… mountains gave me peaks to see and Tibetan bells sang to me as birds in air flew far to see all miracles of life, which grew within my colors rare five different crayons, rife. |

'I painted once with chalk on black, as dust filled up my air, then waters colored streamed away, no patience stilled me there… I waxed my way through colors five, plus one or two, and more… where wishing wells and sea-foamed shores filled a bedroom’s floor…' Very cool image...like Crayola pick-up sticks.  |

You put your signature of imagery in all you write...and we are better for what you see. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Karilea--I don't know much about painting, except with words...seems you do both.  |
