Mind the Paint

The left side of my brain a kaleidoscope of hues, pinks and purples, yellows, reds and blues. All shades for each crazy mood I choose, with a variety of paint my mind carries, there’d be rainbows with unicorns and fairies. Soft brush strokes for perfect eternal zest, for colorful vitality is what I love the best. On the right side of my brain I’d etch a silhouette of my heart charcoal sketched. Memories of my dogs playing fetch, for they too are my children you see and have special meaning to little ‘ol me. Engravings of loved ones who’ve passed away and verses of silly phrases I always say. Each side of my brain are both combined, making my soul unique yet brilliantly kind. There’s nothing like my chromatic mind, giving such lively and florid illustration, making me grateful for my God-given creation. I shall never let go of my mind’s flamboyancy, and all the picturesque moments of vibrancy. Mind the Wet Paint Contest Viv Wigley March 19, 2018
