His Canvas He Tickled

God dipped His paintbrush in tangerine light,
painted streaks of blushes into the night

Silhouettes of trees for that added breeze,
some with leaves unfurling, awake from freeze

Added some contrast, skies above went dim
He looked at His opus and then said, "Hmm..."

"Something's still missing", and then He chuckled...
Three birds: a Smile; His canvas He tickled

I hope the birds were gulls. I am passionately fond of gulls. And a smile for Carolyn, a smile for Nikko. I am also passionately fond of Cezanne. Super write. Love, Dave
