I Like Drawing

by Zac, grade 3

I like drawing
        With pictures
        Not words.
When I draw
        I draw what my
        Inner poet might look like
         Right now.
I can make him
        A ninja,
         An alien,
        A turtle.
I can put him in
        The shower,
        A fishbowl,
        Anywhere!
I can make him go places
        Like Hawaii,
        Australia,
         Or to find me
         A white Siberian tiger.
I can make him
        Stretch,
        Bounce,
         Or walk up the wall
        And stick to the ceiling.
Why do I do it?
I like drawing
         With pictures,
        Not words!
