Used

Partially inspired by an article I read about a man who recycles used crayons into whole new ones for distribution to children's hospitals.  This poem takes real inspiration from art works I have seen in the medium.

Well-used blunt crayons
Still tell the tales
Of beauty
Across the page
In lines and shades
In warm coloured wax





I wish I had taken the opportunity to work in wax crayon when I was young.
