I Crafted This Poem for…

 

Working really hard

This artist crafts

Starting with wondering

Then finding a part of myself

That knows what it wants

Getting excited, about an idea

A new way of making

Going and studying

Gathering materials

Learning to work safe

Managing to keep clean

Starting to practice

Discovering tricks and skills

Getting used to my company

Being with myself and my working

Building

Shaping

Waiting

Returning

Finishing

Here

“I made this for you”
