PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

my thumb is drawing

quite painfully so

now, if only I could sell the artwork

'ears' to you my dear Mr. Van Gogh

I can see the multitude of designs

expressed as near acute

bordering amateur to divine

why all thumbs around the globe

would hold mine in the highest regard

regardless of price or decline

the purity of talent would remain unmarred

Andy Warhol even in death would be quick to

favor such creative insightful works

oh, the fertile ground of one's imagination

does indeed carry with it many thought quite

ludicrous quaint yet delightful perks

where would I display these absolutely stunning

visions of cataclysmic color

and least yet would they be certain to hail

top dollar

in all likelihood I would have to admit

probably not

but hey, the dream behind the original idea

was grand even if now and realistically forever

its all that I've truly got

well, that and this outrageous poem anyway!.........
