I am but a quarter
Only worth a beat
I'm average among the staff
With but one leg and no feet.
Short and to the point
But sometimes falling flat
My friends are few but plenty
Unless our time is cut in half.
And if you don't pick me up
I start with a measure of one
But beware the hovering eye
You must hold me until I'm done.
The croc below may cause a shout
So be sure of the right key
Carry me pure and keep the time
My worth, it pulses the beat.
My world is black and white
But my job is vibrant with color
I'll take your breath away
Until you reach a rest to recover.
I'll help you read between the lines
You'll learn to love my FACE
I'll stay in my lane on the track
And help you finish the race.

Writing is a passion that I used to have until my life got too busy. I'm making a solid effort to make time for it again, though.
