Drawing Challenge 2

I drew a lamp (the kind you put a candle in) for a week.

"Ancestor Worship"

Ancestor Worship

The ghosts crowd around,

like shadows at 4 o’clock,

fragile as butterfly wings,

persistent as memory.

These shades are invisible,

seen only by me

in the span of your brow,

in the tenor of your temper.

Ancestors won’t leave me alone.

They thunder through my family,

Vikings on a rampage,

pillaging as they go.

Should I sharpen my axe

and join their company?

"Defensive Driving Class"

Defensive Driving Class

But the post jumps out

at me.

Surprise!

Headlight knocked out.

No real excuse.

Except that at 80

you do whatever the fuck

you want.

She’s earned it.

Earned it in spades.

Bonus:  a discount

on the car insurance.

"Victorian" Cards

I was really bored last night, so out comes the scissors and glue stick.  I ordered a couple new DCWV paper stacks from Joann's and wanted to do something with them. I used some ribbon I had too.  The gold ribbon didn't stick too well so I only used it on one greeting card.  I had the blank cards and envelopes already.
