When Your Son Draws You ~ Betsy Johnson-Miller

 


 when your son draws you
a picture of a forest

climb the tree
with its cloud
of leaves

imagine
the shape you wish
to be

bunny
howling wolf
proud ship skimming

across the blue drapes
that let the light
in

there is no sky
in the picture

his drawing is white
and black

it doesn’t matter

listen to your son
invent the rest
