Pencil

My pencil skates a waltz of its own
On a bland white page, deprived of tone.
A legato glide here, a trilling spin there,
A sharp staccato that launches the dancer in the air.

My place of solace is black and white,
But it is far from being plain and dry.
Colors erupt from every line
As my pencil waltzes in the night.

    Made by a self-taught cook.
    How many types of cheese in it?
    Depends on how you look.
    The unique flavors are all diverse
    Each with its own taste.
    Just like in America you are welcome,
