Picture Perfect
Your mind is a blank
Coloring book,
And people are
The crayons:
Some crayons are sharp;
Thick outlines of purple,
Definition and precision,
Emphasizing every shape;
Some crayons are dull;
Crooked swirls and
Messy blotches of beige –
Wax smeared like finger paint;
Some crayons are broken,
Rubbing, blending,
Blue and gray,
Outside the lines;
Some crayons are melted,
Distorted and ugly;
Bright red consuming
The whole page like fire;
Some crayons are chipped,
Slashing each page
With jagged black lines,
Destroying the picture;
Choose crayons wisely to fill
Every page of your mind…
Favorite colors make your
Picture perfect.
Thank you for the fine and memorable work, Victoria.
I appreciate your kind words about my work, Andrew!
