Rime Couee-The Old Artist

The old artist embraced squallor,
resisting riches, halting ardor;                                                            
his large paintings remained indoor.
With dust on their canvas,
the images started to lose their color...
as his tears flowed across.

Dear Andrew, this poem is so touching. My heart goes out to the artist whose talent has been unrecognized. I would have ranked this much higher. Congratulations on your win in Dr. Ram's contest! Love, Carolyn
