Drawing from Life
My first purpose in drawing is learning and noting,
Then some other time one can do the emoting.
Life involves moving - it is rarely still.
Even if it's not moving it very soon will.
So part of the skill is the need to be quick.
(This is nothing to do with just being slick.)
'Con brio' depends upon presence of mind,
And keeping that up for an hour, I find
Needs exceptional effort and the gods to be kind.
But with the gods of drawing* to bless,
It might all come together in very much less.
*Jizz, adumbration and serendipity.
