Poem Collaboration

tonight I will pretend
I can shoot water from my fingertips
in the shower

tonight I will imagine
the carpet is made of lava
and the couches are the rocks

tonight I will pretend
a blanket tied around my neck
makes me Wonder Woman

tonight I will imagine
my room is being sieged by dragons
and I, the princess, must slay every single one

tonight,
I will pretend I can go back.

Sunday Doodle

I was sketching last night, which I rarely seem to do these days. Gosh. It was so relaxing. I was playing with shapes, and the lifegaurd came out. He looked so lonely, so I had a give him a friend to share the beach with. I had so much fun, I had to paint it whilst wrestling a toddler. Okay not really wrestling. She was a bit squirmy, so I had to put on "Shaun the Sheep" which is AMAZING by the way.
