An Artist's Rendition: Mascara on CanvasA Poem by Arly Parent
Previous Version This is a previous version of An Artist's Rendition: Mascara on Canvas. there she stood amidst it all a part yet held apart for her makeup held its place, it's said, to project this work of art. It balanced the earth tones in her eyes, smoothed the wayward lines... made porcelain of human skin, and stamped out all decline. "It's a wonder that such beauty IS!" cried out those who cared to see. "Such makeup is a wondrous thing," "How could it ever be!?" "It's perfect in every shape and form." "Look how it catches the light!" "The way it strikes the powdering is really quite a sight!" and on and on so it went the cycle continued forth everywhere the makeup went it garnered sighs of awe For who could deny what all could see? Such beauteous powder such filigree catching the light for all to see a magnificent painting... Perfidy she was once a blank canvas now she's known throughout the world everyone remembers the canvas but who would know the girl?
