Charcoal Image Poem by Obed dela Cruz

Look at this image. It is drawn using charcoal.
What are its colors? Its colors are black and white.
It’s not colorful but it’s still a work of art.
Look at yourself. You’re amazed by its beauty.

In whatever form art is, it revives the soul.
Though it’s a charcoal image, it’s still good in sight.
Think not just with the brain but also with the heart.
Start appreciating and judge artistically.

Don’t underestimate the simple things in earth.
Know that even simple things have their own worth.
