Analysis of On a Whelm



Creativity happens on a whelm
Especially using camera film
Because what's captured, unique
Makes you laugh, fun to seek
So keep this ready for a feat

As a picture tells the story more
Bringing emotion onto the floor
Beyond what even words perform
This to add flavor, and then adorn
Every artistic project to storm!
