Starving Artist

Crouched in an alley
Cold unwelcoming cobblestone
Raindrops keep him half awake
Stayed up all night sipping coffee
Finishing touches to canvass of
Bluebird skies and sailing ships
Those holding umbrellas pass by
Look - and move on through
November's leaded skies...

I have always found it to be rather sad in regards to Artist that so few make so much while so many make so little - I reckon thats life though - God Bless
