I can paint a little.
I could paint your portrait
if you had a personality.
Perhaps an abstract...
Uh...no.

Ida,

Ah, the young portrait painter, doing well by doing good--uhh--well--maybe.

how lovely this short poem.

Paint a portrait of my emotion, you would find that the sky was not large enough. But it would end at the tip of your brush.

Beautiful poem and it made me think.

These little bites of poetry
are great for my sweet-truth, Ida.

Thank you!

A little different, Ida, but still Ida. An abstract would be suitable for me in shades of gray---I am an enigma unto myself!

Thank you all for your comments. Just doing a little testing for sense of humor. I really do know someone who appears to me to be totally devoid of personality.
