It's Just a Pencil
Josie Craven

It's just a pencil.
You can do anything
With it...
Draw, write, color...
You can do a lot
With just a tiny thing.

Writing poetry in just pencil.
So, finding the beauty of a pencil
And writing about it
Will bring the beauty to us.

Just a pencil.
I mean what can you do With just a utensil
With a graphite lead
Embedded in a wooden shaft?
So many!
It's just a pencil.
