Ok, this is bad for me. I just couldnt think of anything at all, be honest!

Thoughts of you provoke a portrait
About how you gleam in light
An artist, incapable to paint it
Asks me for some insight

The man cries, and he moans
On his paper, confusion does lay
I take the work, tear it I did
“There's more to it,” I say

Soon a woman, envious of her
Wants to try this hopeless feat
Her easel loosens, falls aground
For she took to long to complete

Oblivious to this effortless task
People believe they can see
How to draw or paint this image
That is so romantic to me

I’ll let you in, on this tiny secret
A predicament that I was once in
This girl isn’t an everyday person
Beginning on the outside is a sin

From the heart and onward down
Shades of meaning come about
As strokes appear, you’re now done
A scene so lovely, is finally out

  True, true, not really up to snuffalupagus with some of your other work, but I still liked it.

Hey, nice job.  Lots of good imagery! I liked it.

I like how you developed it from the beginning, better than what you had before  = ) Good imagery... keep it up, and even though you think it's not your best, there's always someone else who finds something good in your words.

I like the message here and how it was written overall.  The flow wasn't your usual perfection but it's still really good
