Pink/Orange/opaque I want, I wish, I make The texture never made sense to me The tips never wrote well for me The color never rubbed off on me The green smudged left and right The purple I gripped too tight The yellow had a hint of blue The blue, well we don’t wanna talk aboutContinue reading “I could never write with crayons”
