I rendered my nephew in cray-pas using a close-up photo sent in email.
My nephew wanted his caricature: this shows instant, transfer, chrome,and none (with the color punched up)

This poem of mine is fine, Had to post it again.

art by Robyn Reynolds
.
I am not in control
of the rain-
the insane
or pain
but gain
control of self
by belief
I am not alone-
the flyleaf
tells me so
the loose leaf
holds my notes-
the cloverleaf
brings relief
from disbelief-
an interleaf
of magic’s
motif
grown by rain
God’s reign.

The visible and the in-
by Marge Piercy
Some people move through your life
like the perfume of peonies, heavy
and sensual and lingering.
Some people move through your life
like the sweet musky scent of cosmos so
delicate if you sniff twice, it’s gone.
Some people occupy your life
like moving men who cart off
couches, pianos and break dishes.
Some people touch you so lightly you
are not sure it happened. Others leave
you flat with footprints on your chest.
Some are like those fall warblers
you can’t tell from each other even
though you search Petersen’s.Some come down hard on you like
a striking falcon and the scars remain
and you are forever wary of the sky.We all are waiting rooms at bus
stations where hundreds have passed
through unnoticed and others
have almost burned us down
and others have left us clean and new
and others have just moved in.
