Pencil, by A. E. Stallings
Sun, 04/18/2021 - 4:26pm — KristiI am lucky enough to own a couple of volumes of poetry by the amazing A. E. Stallings.
Randomly picking a few poems to read while sipping my tea, I came across "Pencil."
I love the rhymes, the occasional repetition or additional rhyme on the first and third lines.
She's so masterful, so skilled.
Gabriele Münter and Breakfast of the Birds

The National Museum of Women in the Arts has her Breakfast of the Birds, which is a lovely work that I think I'm going to copy or at least follow for Draw a Bird Day.

I was fascinated by the footage of the big pizza-like things with the long shreds of what looked like cheese.

A recent Poem of the Day was Tell the Bees by Sarah Lindsay, which intrigued me enough to go look at some of her other works.
