Making Art on a Rainy Day

On this rainy, soggy, chilly day,

we were cooped up inside the house,

with nowhere to go.

So, creativity came to the rescue.

I cut papers from magazines

and put them together,

with pleasing pictures

and inspiring words,

a New Year theme emerged.

My little daughter saw me busy,

enjoying the process,

making something aesthetic,

out of nothing,

and she wanted to express

her imagination as well.

Always supportive of creativity,

I supplied the materials,

and she created an adorable snowman,

with hat and scarf,

with mittens and pines.

And that is how

a rainy holiday was spent,

bonding and making art.
