After 60 years of drawing
his nose was all but blunt
So our famous Mr Squiggle
went on a sharpener hunt
He took his rocket to the moon
with Blackboard and Miss Jane
They found a big red sharpener
and his pencils sharp again

Poem of the Day
Leave a commentDrawing A Memory
How do you doodle?
Leafy-shapes or people?
Zigzag sharp
or swirly soft.
Spirals, squares or circles?
Why do we doodle?
Feeling tense or troubled?
Trying not to
go to sleep.
Puzzled, bored or muddled?
Doodling while listening
prevents our mind from wandering.
It helps to pen
a drawing-hook.
But NOT in someone else’s book!

Celia said: What’s the point of doodling? Well it turns out that, rather than being a distraction, it can help us focus! So go ahead – use your super-doodle power. (My favourites are curls and swirls.)
