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

I need to keep the shapes confined
and stay within popular lines
but squiggles are beings apart.

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.

and skirts of Caribbean blue,
for nude squiggles I never drew

like forms revealed by fading mist.

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

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.

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