Life Drawing
Your back aches hunched over the sketchpad
Hands scribble furiously as
Lines slowly take shape
Outlines emerge in primordial form
Details are sparse and slowly the
Lines tighten in all perspectives
Frantically trying to capture the important
Just the right curve, the right pucker
The details can wait
Maybe a little slimmer, a little fatter
Beauty begins to shine as the artist
Injects a style all their own
And then
NEXT POSE
