Gather ye rose buds wherever you may. 8″x10″ crayon on 20# bond paper. When “Artisting” with my grand daughters I often do a simple sketchy drawing with crayons. A sort of sample to set the tone. Over time these drawings sit around and sometimes get worked on after the kids have left, and I find myself wondering if the sketchy drawing should find it’s way into a more serious piece. This is one that is now moved over to the drawing board for a more in-depth consideration. When done these become stepping stones for the young artist grand daughters to see how their work can be rethought and reworked. They very often do take another go at it. If not they carry the experience forward until next “artisting” day.

though it may be a Bluerose….if you don’t mind….though it would go in a red & white quilt

a rose bud
tightly held
warm within
as it begins
to unfurl
soft petals curl
with the morning sun
a perfect rose
no matter how glorious
is never done
though sometimes it’s close

Please feel free to use it if you so desire, I would love to see it in such a placement.
I am surprised as I have many crayon drawings I have done with my grandchildren on our “artisting” days, perhaps I will post a few more in the future.
Your poem is very lovely and the images is to..
