Yes indeed, a fine work of art in nine lines! Ok, don't go back to the easel and change anything; it's already perfect! Merci beaucoup Monsieur Gershon...ab

I am so glad you said "sign it" - so many forget this and I consider it a most important component of creating art.

Without a signature, what is a Picasso or a Krutsinger worth anyway? Smiles, Gershon

Oh mon Dieu ( Oh my gosh ) I looked you up to find YOUR poems and the first one I choose made me smile. I paint and draw beaucoup. Je parle Francais un peu. I own my first beret too! Your poem makes me think of me a little, although unfortunately being cursed a perfectionist, "I tend to dive in, again and again, too many times. Final touches, I breathe a sigh of relief, Awwww it's done. I will put your a poem where I can see it to motivate me to "dive in only once more"

There you go, Marikate! I'm so happy for you that this little ditty resonates, and I'm glad that you shared your story with me! Here's a littly funny about perfectionism: Mom: Suzy, get back to that piano! You know that practice makes perfect! Suzy: Yes, Mom. But who wants to be perfect?! lol. Ciao now, gw
