Capturing a moment with your pencil, "smudging and blurring" is wonderful, Linda. I keep imagining being back teaching, knowing my students would love this, love how you've responded to the prompt, then want to do it, too!
Isn't it just like children to race to the window when it starts to snow!
I also love the way your poem bears witness to PROCESS, which, in the end, is all there really is in the work we do with words or art or needle and thread.
I love it when inanimate things are anthropomorphized, and we learn their feelings and emotions and how they see the world. "Witness to work in progress." What a great line!
YESSSS! The "smudging and blurring" is now perfect, and I'm tickled also that, as you'll see, the title to mine turned out to be "Like Progress." We are really all on the same Wendell-flavored page!

"What if I become a pencil" is a dreamy, evocative line. So much possibility in the smudging and blurring. Love that, Linda!

Such a gorgeous sketch! Those boys are alive! How nice to be his pencil! I love what you did with this prompt.

Hello, Love! It’s so clever how you and a few others combined your Wendell Berry-inspired poems with artwork, smudging here, blurring there! Love it!
That's perfect for the pencil sketch! Yay for the "work in progress."
