Various Vases

 (crayon on paper) 

"Take out your creativity books," 

my teacher says. 

It's my favourite time in class

I am really good at literasy 

And I am fine with numbers

But creativity is where I tip my hat

and greet the stars

Win a race with my flying car

And off I go, near and far

Then land back on my desk

Before anyone notices I was gone. 

Mrs Kroutz leans over my shoulder

"That's a pretty drawing, sweetie..."
