His Peeps have been keeping me company,
right outside my windows.

Three, four Robins, sometimes more.
Since the heavy snow,
they come close to the house.
Hop hop, walk walk, peck peck. Stand.

Early this morning,
he stood very still, staring at me.
"What??"
"Come on, sketch me! I'm posing!
It's a gift. Take it!
Sketch me in this little patch of light.
And, SW, I'm here to tell you,
you can find your own patch of light,
instead of that dark place you were in yesterday."

ReplyDeleteHello! Just found your blog... Love your sketches! What waatercolor paper journal do you use?
ReplyDeleteLove this capture! And your description of robin's movement (hop hop, walk walk, peck peck) is so perfect. I was watching a robin a few days ago and it seemed to me it was doing choreographed dance steps. xx
