It starts with a circle

It starts with a circle

We share a church pew
You bounce on your mother's lap
And wiggle and squirm with boredom
There is a small box of crayons between us
And a tiny pad of paper
Waiting to be filled
It starts with a circle
I hand it to you
And say, "Draw something"
And you turn the circle into a peace sign
And I add a green border
And you say, "It's a tree!"
So I add a trunk
And you add a giant bird
And I make leaves
And you draw a dog
And I make another bird
And you make your bird KING
And I make a flying pig
And you make an egg
And I add a rainbow
And you add a pterodactyl
And I add a fox
And you say, "The bird pooped!"
And I say, "Here is a nest,"
And we keep on like that
Filling the page
With colors
And life
Until it's time for you
to go

Monday Morning Warm-Up:

Find a friend to draw with. It can be a child, a student, a partner, a friend, any age will do. Get a piece of paper and draw a shape. Hand the paper over and let the other person make something out of it. Now you make something, now the other person, etc. and on and on until you fill the page. Now each of you choose one image and use it as a story starter. Have FUN. :)
