"Oh, sure - show off your poetry."

Well, it is a poetry ZOT! thread, isn't it?

You bet I'm going to take advantage of it! Do you realize how many of these dang poems I have cluttering up the place?

I gotta get rid of 'em somewhere.

I know what you mean. I was busy for four days last weekend, and things were hummin' over here!

How's your truck? Did Hobbes give approval?

The truck is GREAT!
For an "old" truck, it is in surprising condition. The engine is very sound, and I had not an iota of problem on the trip back. I think it has a 16 gallon tank, and I went 400 miles on it...I still can't figure out the mpg...not a day for that, I'm afraid.

BUT!

My daughter gave me the first five books of Harry Potter...

It's a sketch, sorta a portrait.
When it is done, I will have to ask the person I'm doing it for if I may share it.
(Pending their approval of it. Hope my skill holds out.)

Knowing how to draw/sketch/paint is like sex and riding a bicycle: once you learn how, it only takes a stroke or two to remember...;o]

Well, 'Face, here's another piece of clutter for you to unpack...


To Day

Darkness, made the more profound,
By silence, whose husbanded sound,
Has stretched the firmament of stilled air,
Until it almost seems about to tear...

Then worn and tattered threadbare night,
Whose shivering stars have tithed their meager light,
Surrenders to a youthful sun to rouse up all the dew,
As elder brethren go to sleep, all blanketed in blue.

The steaming rocks and hillside pearls are rising,
On slanting golden treads, while songbirds in surprising,
Cheerfulness, unclench their frozen toes,
Before the sunny fireplace that rose.

And I my mind and plans for day compose,
When to my sight an amber-petalled rose,
Has caused all time to stand still in its place,
Until I have completed worship of your face.

LOL, unless parts of your body go numb and fall asleep.
Which happens often while sketching.
