Christopher Quigley Poet Free verse

If God drew

would the skies be blue
would the circle be around
emotions colour coded
would the W
……………a
…………….t
…………….e
………….…r in clear innocence
Would mistakes be scraped from the canvas
replaced with a cloud
You can never have enough clouds
would a single bristle
ruin 
I think god might be a dog
Here me out
He makes you look for him
The noises he makes when he sleeps
Your favourite chair is now his chair
Wait wait this ones about God
You went too far with the dogs
Would there be only light
I kinda like the darkness

Who would see the painting
Give critical thoughts
Is the canvas too taught
tightly wraps t up
………………h
……………….i 
……………….s

Would the pastels merely be ghosts
would the crescent streak of blue and grey
sculpt the shark
be thinking this is not a fin
and I am not a shark
only you humans think that

The call us whales even named a country after us
Now your having the whales talking to sharks
Where does it end
Well after the t

Would it be sad
Would it ever end
Would the frame be stars
Each sun a nail in place

What would you hang it from

Could you paint our hopes and dreams
Bob Ross giving advice on the flaws

Would the darkness give you room for paws
Stop the dog reference could ja

Wait how did you get the paper

I believe in dog
gotta go he wants to take me for a walk..
