A sketch, a stroke starts it all, a pencil in my right, eraser to the left Black, marker marks the lines, smearing of the graphite, to compromise Single stroke..just a stroke Pastels, coloring the shapes, making random scratches, watercolor stains Became, a portrait, a mess, so much uglier than I had really wanted to draw Second stroke..just a stroke Need to change my mediums to make sense of it all since I can't go back to the white canvas Start again, start again Seventh stroke..just a stroke Droplets, the salt that stays behind, abstract, piece of artwork, next up Anything from glass shards to red streaks, watermarks Will the meaning I try to convey, find a way through all these Messed up lines, and to some a, masterpiece, masterpiece
