A Pencil Stroke

With only but a strike and then a light. 

But there must be more! 

A stroke and then an array of colors,

blue, green, oh what a nice sheen. 

In the land, a covering of trees, a covering of lakes, 

and rivers, for all to see. 

But something is missing! 

A stroke and feathers large and small, blue, and red, and green.

Waterfalls plunder their placing, threatening the breaking 

of pages lacing.

And now the canvas is complete.
