Artist

Tonight like a child,
                           caring not the time
                                  nor the place.
                         Studying you as only an
                                artist could know.
                          The lines and features
                             of your face.

                          I've painted this picture
                               a thousand times,
                             remembering you,
                                  when we're apart.

I like the effortless rhyming. Many rhyming poems twist syntax awkwardly to get a rhyme happening and they sound stilted or "poetry like". You do this with a nice flowing sense, simply and directly.

Tucker; Although I had never read any of your work before, this evening I read several of them and found them nicely done and quite enjoyable. I also observed the works of a gifted poet. I am so pleased that I stopped by. Hoping to see much more in the near future.

A very profound and nostalgic piece with implied emotions so remarkably painted. Title and last lines are perfect. A 7.
