Drawing the Human Figure
The head is an oval with ledges,
The left arm hangs down like a hook,
The right arm is raised with a crook.
The torso's triangular edges
Meet the waist in a prismatic nook,
Then the right leg descending just so,
And the left leg's drawn out to the toe.

The rhymes work fine, and there doesn't seem to be an intended meter. It reads more like a set of instructions, so if there's supposed to be more to it than that, I'm missing it. With one arm up, I guess the figure is waving? Cute enough for a short piece.

I like the symmetry of the rhyme scheme in the first four lines, followed by three which form a "foot". It's hard for me to visualize what a "prismatic nook" is in this drawing.
