Color Me Pencil — Karen Hall

Color Me Pencil
is a dark tale of ill
about a girl cursed
by evil rehearsed,
bringing about a hex
worse than vex.

She drool
on an ebony spool.
Shortly after, a black pool
appears on the floor,
turning her
into a mess
with stains on her dress.

Her lips, a glamorous black,
wished her lover back . . .

Holding her bony,
bruised knee,
she wondered who
would rescue
she,
covered in ebony?

Dismayed,
she shrill,
Color Me Pencil.
