What a Cat! What a Leap!
Four Lines
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.

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

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

to properly sieve and sort through
too much bite to thoughtfully chew
yet not enough to prove nonesuch.

Four Lines
Acquiring their base color while
they wait for contour, depth and shade
my scribbles pretend they’re self made
and begin to dance a twist freestyle.

What a Cat! Joan Miro with Link

Four Lines
Sage green and goldenrod cover
only within the space of shape,
since I mustn’t let scribbles escape
while acquiring their base color.
