The Master Artist Poems Ending Because There Was No Room

--Ending of The Master Artist poem---- He worked for several days until one night when he was nearly through, His hands clapped together in delight and the bright pastel dust flew. Bright colors of pastels flew up into the night sky; the colors iridescent. Magenta Mars and pastel stars shone down upon his nighttime creation The Master knew he was almost through and he was filled with elation. His mighty canvas seemed stagnant and he blew hard upon the dust The pastels swirled and his pastel world seemed to twirl with the gust. He stroked his beard, nodded and then painted what had been missing. Red ochre and flesh tones of two people, then an apple they had wrested From the tree that he had painted last—for on the seventh day he rested. Diane Caudle

Ah, yes! This final stanza sheds fresh light on the whole poem and gives it an extra dimension! Well done indeed!.......It seems strange that you could not post this along with the main body of the poem, due to lack of room. A couple of my poems are longer than this and I posted them without a problem. I understand the site has had a few problems. You could try adding this final part again by going back to part 1 and pressing "Edit" then type these 5 lines in? Regards, Robert.
