I don’t frown upon that time.

In fact, I kind of spread my wings,

doing many things I’d never tried.

One day I drew a lady in a hat.

For several hours I sat with pencils,

sketch book, learning from a girl

Whose own work unfurled, creating magic!

Without her I was lost.

And this cost me nothing but my time.

Each day in lockdown,

home alone,

I felt sublime when something clicked

Through being transfixed

on learning something new.

One day I drew a lady in a hat.
