The Final Mosaics Class

I watched the projects taking shape,
All varied in design – 
A tree, a flower, a giraffe,
All different from mine.

One displayed a pot of blooms,
Another one huge eye,
Each finished effort proving
This was surely worth a try.

With some guidance from our teachers,
Grout was slathered ‘til it dried,
Then we gently wiped it off
And showed our artwork off with pride.

Trying something new’s a challenge
But the effort you expend
May, like making a mosaic,
Come together in the end.

Hooray. It sounds like you did well though in your first class, you seemed wary. Congratulations on your finished (and I'm sure beautiful) mosaic.
