An artist once again inspired,
Ready to create his art.
Sleek metal against a rugged backdrop.
Carefully coordinated strokes caress the canvas,
Yet erratic to the bystander.

An old friend assists the painter.
Carefully guiding his hand.
More strokes here,
More colors there.
With a devilishly playful smile,
And a hopeful stare in his eyes,
As he awaits the artist’s masterpiece.

Finally, the artist finishes his work.
He puts down his instrument,
Covered in red paint,
He admires his newest edition to his gallery,
Smiling.
Yet is met with a disappointed frown.

Ha-ha.
Sorry old friend,
It seems that
I missed the most important stroke.
Don’t worry old friend,
I still have enough inspiration,
To try again.
Some other time.
