What would your father say?

the lines to the two page spread for my children’s book illustration class~ we had to illustrate a poem and I chose e. e. cummings’ maggie and milly and molly and may.

I have a feeling i’m going to like the lines more than the colors but ehhh.. here’s the poem for anyone interested: 

maggie and milly and molly and may 
went down to the beach(to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang 
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and

milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing 
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone 
as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose(like a you or a me) 
it's always ourselves we find in the sea

e. e. cummings
