Dear Little Lamb

^                                                                                      Dear little
                                                                                  lamb who is your
                                                                      shepherd?    And the    one who
                            knows and                         keeps a    record? Can he    show
                you the stars at night? Or only       guide to    keep you from      fright.
           Wanting                        to know about              the designer’s      secret.
     And perk     up your wooly     ears to hear it. With         practice
  comes       skill to succeed. Then      your dreams will         soon
  be       realized indeed. So you quickly     peer over another
       shoulder to see where others are only     grazing merrily.
The treasures you want are not hard to explain     but then
again we must first have a plan to attain. What is    your
   desire to accomplish in art? Or is it grammar and
       rhyme just for a start? Will you speak your Baa
         Baa instead     of good? The words to teach are they
              mis-             understood?       Oh little lamb, there is still
               so     much    to    learn.                     You have set your
              one    goal      &    from                             it don’t    turn.
              A       path     in    life                               a bit    different
               not               of      the                        norm.   Now   you
                are                         to                                   decide and
                                                can                                choose a
                                                                                        form.

    Tang, this is very good. I'm a little partial on spiritual poems. I defiently like the way who told your story in the shape of a lamb.

    Dear Tam,
    I do enjoy creating animals, working them into figural poems.
    So glad you are enjoying the visual as well as the poetry.

    Dear WolfHeart,
    Thanks the figurals are my favorite to create.
    DarkChildsKiss is in search of somehow learning how to do them, I just predraw out what I'm trying for then start tinking away!
    But the finished product always looks different!
    I've got almost 50 figurals now!
