OUTSIDE THE LINES

crayon drawn on crayon
a car crash of colour
“I’m colouring the colour! ”

colours hide in corner
rest of page a blank
“The colours are having a rest! ”

center page
an explosion of red & blue
“The colours are having a fight! ”

her scrawl
“This is my bestest Dad! ”

one eye
balanced on my hair
other eye escaped from my face

Daddy
a multi-coloured
blob of slime

child drawings
on fridge door
chronicler of our lives

Mummy at least
has a figure
slim as a matchstick
