I use "Notes" on my iPhone, and close my eyes to draw a continuous line. Then open my eyes and "see" my image. I fill in using the Markup tools. When the image is done, I listen to it and begin my poem. So that is why you see a black line "squiggle" in the image. I make the scribble and it works out the rest!Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604430404780110710.post-80388889479113727182020-07-19T20:46:31.470-04:002020-07-19T20:46:31.470-04:00So sad to hear about your sister, Donna...how diff...So sad to hear about your sister, Donna...how difficult that must have been, especially when nowhere near your home or comfort place, and in the midst of covid, no less.

Please be gentle on yourself and let the memories be blessings. You've bobbed and weaved through so much these past few years. Thank goodness, you can organize your thoughts into poems and squiggles. The Blue Balloon is spectacular. It's a story and a farewell together.

The comfort of family collected in epidemic times, one way or another, must have been enormous. As for the second lovely poem shared - I'm so intrigued by the artwork, too. Did a grand draw over your drawing or did you grab a page already kid-art enhanced to add your nature lover. This post is a beautiful gift. And I'm so glad you are doing well. jan godown anninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091996699597066230noreply@blogger.com
