although only 8 lines, i can totally appreciate the pre-thought this took, and here, Marg:
HEAVY ACCOLADES
being bestowed for a superb double-stanza.

The relationship of an everchanging canvas of self, one where the pen and brush is never put down, is one where old paint melts with time,
and new colors take its place.

Marge, you do these so well. Maybe, I should change my name from "SmartChick" to "DumbChick".

From the bottom of my heart, I can't tell you how much I love this beautiful poem that you have so brilliantly written. Truly!

"...Crayola-melt
into twi-of-night rendezvous"

"...deliquesced doodles..."

Some words just bear repeating!
