Skills

With a pencil ready, I used to draw

now my shaky hands won’t cooperate.

I see double. Is this a wretched flaw?

No, my sharp words have learned to compensate,

**

creating images through the mind’s eye,

or emotions evoked with a fine stroke,

with a structured frame within to apply

words and expressions to make you emote.

**

Or show a picture from my mind to you

worthy of a thousand graphic words,

or maybe I’ll learn to paint in bright hue.

These images appear like brilliant birds;

**

aflutter, with a song I must present,

in a manner which I do not resent.
