In honor of #NationalPoetryMonth, let’s flashbac In honor of #NationalPoetryMonth, let’s flashback to a short, “on-the-spot” poem written back in, I believe, 1997 or ‘98. A co-worker didn’t believe I wrote poetry and challenged me to pen a piece, right then and there! Fun memory. Enjoy! 🦋 #poetry #poetsofinstagram
Today, I celebrate National Poetry Month by highli Today, I celebrate National Poetry Month by highlighting the work of one of Poetry’s greats. 🦋 These are the opening lines of a beautifully inspiring piece by Walt Whitman written in 1856. 🦋 If you are a dreamer—full of life and wonder, consumed with wanderlust and freedom—then stop what you’re doing and read “Song of the Open Road” now! You can thank me later! #NationalPoetryMonth #poetry #WaltWhitman

My Daddy came over last weekend and was talking ab My Daddy came over last weekend and was talking about how his shirt smelled like his daddy…my grandfather, Thomas Forrest LeDuff. I thought if he could remember the smell of his dad after all these years, then he must be missing him. So I decided to surprise my dad with a #PencilPortrait drawn by me! My Daddy is the baby of twelve, and has lost his mother, his father, and all but one of his siblings. So I really wanted to do something special for him. He was so surprised! This is the power of #pencil. If you’d like to capture the image of a loved one through a pencil portrait, then contact me. I am open for #commissions. I love you, Daddy…🦋 #artistsofinstagram #artcommissions #pencilart #daddy
