Welcome to Poetry Friday, this week hosted by poet and teacher Rose Cappelli HERE, at Imagine the Possibilities. Thank you, Rose, and I look forward to reading what you are sharing this week.
I shared a poem last week inspired by the poetry of Grant Snider. This week, with my beginner’s drawing skills, I turned it into a comic. Why not? I can only reveal my rudimentary drawing skills for what they are. First of all, it took a number of drafts before it became anything I could share. I kept at it.
I bought some watercolor pencils that were fun to use. You used them like pencils then add water with a brush. I gained a better appreciation for the art of illustration, that’s for sure. I would like to try making another cartoon perhaps and work on this one some more.
What I love about Poetry Friday is that I can post poems or pictures that are simply works in progress, maybe on the way to becoming something better.
One other thing.
I have to acknowledge here the dreadful news this week. The Supreme Court has hammered The Voting Rights Act, making the hole we have to dig ourselves out of even more cavernous. Shame on them!
Have a great week. Thank you, Rose, for hosting!
