Plastered Pallette

not with a broad brush
   thick strokes stoked with opinion
          hate plied with a knife

I feel the hard handed touch of a painter. I know you do take up the brush to put to canvas. These brush and knife strokes speak for themselves in their properly worded expression determined by the artist herself: YOU. BUT by the title I know you aren't trying to create a masterpiece, but do up you apartment properly. A very nice but, underlying , somewhat tense poem. You're amazing Maureen. Thank you.

Maureen, Oh yes, it rings true in your Senryu 'plastered pallette'. When we decide to drop the knives and brushes, and learn to paint with the heart. -Richard
