Method of creation: Graphite

Text: One breezy day as the wind was singing, / The weather-cock it stood. / And said that it was tired of swinging, /And thought it did no good / To turn the way the wind has winging. / So fast it stuck just as if it thought / The wind had stopped its race; / And the market-folk as they sold and bought / Their wares in the marke-place / said the rain would come before it ought. / The windmill stopped and it said: 'Tis clear / 'the wind has ceased to blow', / and the clothes on the line wouldn't dry for fear / Their ignorance to show. / So they sighed as they dropped a soapy tear
