Masterful Paint Strokes of Artistic Hand

Masterful paint strokes of his artistic hand.
Should use zinnias or roses that are banned?
Decides upon an honored verdant ginger jar
Muse stirs up imagination from afar 

Maestro’s every keystroke magnificently planned. 
Masterful paint strokes of his artistic hand 
Waiting now for proud pink zinnias to come to life
The lovesick artist paints them for his lovely wife


Painting will be revered for hundreds of years
This knowledge might well reduce Verster to tears 
Masterful paint strokes of his artistic hand, 
Ginger jar intelligently feathered and fanned.

Wife adored this one, thought it was his best.
Her enthusiasm was not a real test.
Artist gritted up paint with particles of sand
Masterful paint strokes of his artistic hand.
