A Little Zebra · 8:59pm Jan 21st, 2016
Well, nobody told me not to, so I guess I'll keep blogging this art stuff.
I was working on a horror fic, recently, but I kept hitting walls in how the exact sequence of events should go. I find that taking breaks and doing a bit of drawing helps relieve me, in such times. Gives me a break so I don't get too frustrated. This time, I just drew Zecora, for fun and practice. Sorta branching out and getting away from the show's character models just a little. She's one of my favorites, at this point. I wanna write about her, too, but I suck at poetry. Hope you like zebras.

Meanwhile, I took a break in writing to draw a hovercraft. Life is weird, sometimes.
Very nice drawing.

Is your hovercraft full of eels?
Either you'll laugh because you're a Monty Python fan, or you'll have no idea what I'm talking about.

I'll think of including eels, but I came back to writing for now.

Such resources are handy indeed.
But that's not all a poem does need.
It needs flow; the prose must be refined.
It puts one as myself in a bind.
I can indeed write them, I confess.
But it takes me time in great excess.
For example: this comment right now?
Took me twenty minutes at least. Wow.
So for a zebra so rhymey as her,
Five lines might well take half an hour.

To hear that rhymes come poorly to one such as you
Fills me with shock and it seems quite askew.
You have a talent in writing, you're very formal in your work.
Yet your hardships in flow feel like an out of place quirk.
Your vocabulary is vast, widespread and exquisite.
Can you really not find words that rhyme to go with it?
Though in all fairness I know of such adversity,
Many talents and passions are drown back by inability.
For instance my passion for writing is alive and well,
But trying to read never amounts to high avail.
I suppose trying to understand how we are is for naught,
In any case, 10 minutes to type out this thought.
