The Artist's World


The pencil curves,

The marker slashes,

The paintbrush blots,

The rhythm matches.

Shavings scatter,

Eraser flies,

Dust is blown,

The artist sighs.

The drawing sings,

The title flows,

The hand grows tense,

The picture grows.

One last line,

One defining sketch,

One last mark,

The artist’s “X.”

Very well done, this is perhaps the best poem you've written that I've read. Concise but flowery, great rhythm, a classic through and through.
