On my canvas
I am painting
a picture based upon
"The Vinegar Tasters"

adding Krishna,
Moses and Jesus
to the mix

A wonderful smile shows
upon each of the six faces

It is titled

"New Wine"

When I am finished...
it will be discarded.

I like to paint and draw sometimes too, Uriah. I have given most of my paintings away to family and friends. I just have my first painting, hanging here in my office.
I like this poem, it is very you.

I keep coming back to this poem.  I think that I'd like to say that I am like this.  There is so much freedom in this poem.  But, I am not.  I kind of wish that I was though.

I like the poem a lot - and I am suffering from 'coloring outside the lines' envy.

Larry - somewhere on your canvas there must be a smudge of truth.  It may be hard to find but, I don't know, should one look?  Paintings generally enhance a blank wall but discard or not is an individual preference.  You may change your mind down the line.  

Okay, so it was a poem to think about.  Thanks.

Helen
