"An Ode to Drawing" by Holly Ward



My pencil dances

across the page.

The lines it leaves

in its wake,

seemingly unconnected,

begin

to join hands

and form

something bigger.

They let

my world

become real.

Obscure

ideas,

an old

fairytale,

or maybe

a myth.

I spill my thoughts,

hopes,

and dreams

into that

dancing pencil,

and it

will choreograph

accordingly.

It’s

a delicate

dance.

So easy

yet

so hard.

It twirls

elegantly

to its own

rhythm.

I mustn’t

let

its flow

be disrupted.

I want to make

this dance

endless.

-Holly Ward, freshman
