"Colored Pencil"
As my colored pencil
slides along the page
spreading the hues

My mind wanders
thinking of past times,
and my hand moves

silver green flows
the sheen of the river
that i'm drawing

shf shf
the paper says
as I dot the gold leaves

brown and green pines
dot the shore
of the sparkling stream

gray lead shapes the stones
used for making the bridge
as well as the shadows

and the sun shines merrily
on the cool sandy shore
as the burble of the river
blends with the light clouds.
