You look and look
For just the shade
Of sea and sky
And marmalade –
For thunderclouds,
And cocoa beans,
And paraffin,
And mustard greens –
The hue and feel
Of dogs and cats,
And barrow-wights,
And acrobats –
Of scrambled eggs,
Tomato cans,
Old manatees,
And pelicans –
The sun, the moon,
Gingham, or tweed —
The right crayon:
It’s all you need
(“The Right Crayon” – 4-20-2017)
Loved this. Great rhythm and images.
Black construction paper, friend, it makes white crayons beautiful.
I’m sweating to the oldies right now.
