i’m going to paint a silly picture as big and bold as big and bold can be release the most flamboyant colors feeling free and o what awesome dreams they’ll conjure i’ll grab my biggest paintbrush the one that shapes the biggest strokes for folks i’ll paint a hundred thousand rainbows and children’s laughter will overthrow their hush i’ll pick the brightest hues of cheerful blue to paint the sky its merriest joyful shade all birds will want to fly and happily parade while belting out their songs in praise for you Published in my 24-page photo/anthology book ~THE MIND'S CANVAS~ 2023 AP: 2nd place 2020 Posted on March 6, 2020

This is a cheerful poem. I liked the line about painting a hundred million rainbows.

The artist in you is dancing, whirling and twirling with joy, and I am picking up my paintbrush now thanks to this one.

This poem captures painting perfectly. Painting in not how it looks but how the painter feels while painting.
