Pencil by Valerie Worth

pencil
by Valerie Worth

Plied over
Empty paper,
The shadowy

Tip of
This thin
Gold wand

Conjures up
Anything,
Everything.


picture by Natalie Babbitt


This poem is from Valerie Worth's Peacock and other poems. From this book, I also really liked the title poem, Umbrella, Milkweed, and Clouds. I'll have to read more by Ms. Worth.
