Giving or receiving a soul
is granted to any artist
when color and line persist
long enough in time to be whole.

-Lynne

Creating oneself through a role
can be hard on the creator,
but who knows which job is greater
giving or receiving the soul.

-Lynne

A squiggle doesn’t leap to life whole
from a pencil and a blank page,
but are like players on the stage
creating themselves through a role.

-Lynne

Being apart from art squiggles
don’t have to be neat or too smart,
but they do need a large, large heart
to leap to life from a scribble.

-Lynne

If my designs could be called art,
I need to keep the shapes confined
and stay within popular lines
but squiggles are beings apart.

-Lynne

I’ve agreed for the mostly part
that squiggles are simply sketches,
but the lines are starting to stretch
into designs I could call art.

-Lynne

Squiggles born but not yet composed
begin with a base of yellow,
just add red then blue for mellow
brown tweeds so no squiggle’s exposed.

-Lynne

A mist fading reveals true forms
just as pencils use white paper
and primary colors as shapers
composing squiggles not yet born.

-Lynne

Scribbles dance a loose freestyle twist
until they’re firmly penned down
into squiggles with smiles or frowns
like forms revealed by fading mist.
