Blue Vase with Yellow Pencils

Posted by Sarala (Chicago, United States) on 14 May 2009 in Abstract & Conceptual.

Inspired by a poem, "Advice to Writers" by Billy Collins.
"From a small vase, sparkling blue, lift
a yellow pencil, the sharpest of the bouquet,
and cover pages with tiny sentences
like long rows of devoted ants
that followed you in from the woods."
