What is sketching?
So, what is sketching? Sketching is an artistic form that is the very beginnings of a drawing or a painting of an object of some kind. An object could be just about anything from the common fruit bowl to a tree to a house, etc. To me sketching is just a way to relax and have fun. As some say a picture is like a thousand words. Artists are writers and writers are artists. One uses pictures and one uses words. To me these two careers are compatible with each other. What would a book especially a children's or youth book be without pictures or at least some illustrations. I think adult books even have illustrations at times if I'm not mistaken.

Common Incident
Back in 2020, when I was returning from my college to home and I saw an old person helping someone by pushing their car to help all alone then I went to that old person and join to help both of them and all of this watched by the person who was worrying and controlling the car, the person who was the car owner. The car owner seen that I join the old person to help, after when we all three reached the petrol pump there was a little problem that there was a slope to get to the petrol station then I decided to use my whole power to push the car to reach towards the petrol pump section.

Autumn
I have never really wrote a listicle before, but I am going to give it a try. Autumn is.... changing leaves falling raking them into piles and having a little fun to boot.

Winnie
tiddle, diddle um a song he sings many times just for fun too. (Winnie the Pooh is one of favorite characters ever since early elementary school. Pooh makes you think about things in a different way. Line one is a little song he sings while he 'exercises' or just 'sitting and thinking' or as Line three reads just for fun. Learning and helping is the thing to do is what I got and get every time I read 'Winnie the Pooh', 'The House at Pooh Corner' and the poetry books 'When We Were Young' and 'Now We Are Six'.)

Doors
doors side by side which one open or close In or out please. (Not sure on this one. I saw this picture of two doors side by side and wondered which side do people enter or leave or going in and out. What happens when a child goes out one side and the other side and forgets to close the door but sees that the one side is closed and thinks they shut it when they didn't. Two doors side by side could be confusing at times. Maybe that is why I am not too sure of this one.) Please comment.

Lawn Mower
The long and short of cutting grass whether gas or electric. (Anyone who has mowed lawns as a living or as a summer job will understand this little haiku. Line one being the grass of many lengths. Line two meaning the grass in itself and Line three if one had a gas or electric powered mower. I was a person who had seven customers pretty much over many years of this having this profession unofficially for a called myself a groundskeeper.)

A Small Kindness
He did it again always taking up our trash Why does he do it? (Just like the little essay I wrote I think this haiku fits in with the newest contest. Line one my nephew noticing the garbage taken up and the act of and he wonders why in line three.)
