The paintress.

I could never be
what you painted
me to be,
but I could
control your brush
if you added
some colour.

lovely style, Andrew Mitchell, Sir., this poem is particularly the essence of what i am about to say: after reading your work (all your poems) i can really tell, it is possible indeed to say too much (important things) in simply short lines. i admire/adore this writing-style. Sir. your poems describe the human nature through a delicate, elegant, respectful style and clever messages that remind me medieval troubadours bringing their lutes and songs til the cries. thank U for sharing ur work. sincerely, Amber.

Hello Amber, thank you very much for your kind words. Such lovely reviews encourage one to strive on. Thanks for the smile. Andrew. Hugs to you.

This poem seems to express the very problem I have with relationships . . . everyone thinks they know how to paint the other person better than they might ordinarily be (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Yes isn’t that always the case, they have this picture which one must not only live by but maintain this ideal standard. Thanks Margie. Cheers!
