Pen and Inkling

Today's A to Z Blogging Challenge is the letter I.  My topic is writing poetry (because it is National Poetry Month also) for each letter using little used or obscure words and then illustrating with watercolor.  The link to other participants with other themes are available below by clicking on the link.

Pen and Inkling

An itinerarian of this earth
Illapsing in and stopping
To catch my breath
And pause a while
ickle more to do than hopping.
immixing writing for a bit
from A to izzard, then
Painting as immure I sit
Incognizant of when
Impavidly I wave my brush
And pigment flows to yield
An illustration
For the prose
pen aided brush
to yield.
