The Many Responsibilities of Black Crayons

Friday, July 26, 2013

We want you to follow suit and give us a thirty-three word piece that has a color in it.  Use the color to describe anything you like, or use anything you like to describe your color, but keep it creative and keep it short.

Black crayons

Are ground to stubs fastest,

Being responsible for:

Eyes

Limbs

Clouds

The sky’s lower limit

Shadows

(When the artist matures)

Name-writing

Date-writing

And,

Last but not least,

Fingernail painting.
