CRAYON WATCHING

When the grandgirls open brand new crayons,
Their eyes grow wide and start to scan for paper.
There's ninety-six in all, straight up they stand,
Four multi-colored rows all sharp and tapered.

Jaydee's favorite colors are purple shades,
Plum, blue violet, glycene, and razzmatazz.
A bear, an ape, her passion never fades.
They're colored purple, everything she has.

Willa's color sense is much more varied.
Her main concern is drawing graphic scenes
Peopled with the folks she loves and needs
All gathered round as friends and all that means.

So great to see them play with art.
I love to do this watching part.
