Pencil On Canvas Poem by Sherwin Balbuena

Pencil On Canvas



Get a pencil
and a canvas,
and draw these:

A store with dresses hung
And sandals arranged

The owner of the store
at the left, holding
a bottle of Coke
and putting bread
into his mouth

A child at the right,
wearing a worn-out shirt,
looking sadly at the store,
touching his abdomen,
barefooted

Do not add any color
for I see no beauty in it.
