Art

in the art store
where all is sold
figurines
and brass like gold
a pencil drawing
that he picked over
turned and looked
and said "oh, dear,"
I turned and said
"yes?" to him
he picked it up
and with a grin
said "is this you?"
and I grew quite red
for stood a nude
in pencil's lead
I stared and looked
said "no, not me"
and wondered
in complexity
at something I
had never done
and wondered why
he thought I was
the artful one

thru anothers eyes...
very cool and clever write Lady

We wish ourselves beautiful,
we cry in the night.
Its not the love you fear ...
its the fall from the height.

Joyce, then thank you so much for reading...

Spitfire....thank you

Janet Marie...believe it or not, the pencil sketch hangs on the bedroom wall...

Bernie...hard to tell....certainly, not with the hand of an artist, but perhaps, someday, as the hand of a poet...

thank you all for reading!
