The Failed Painter (poem)

New quadrille prompt this week at dVerse Poets from De Jackson (WhimsyGizmo) and the word to include for this latest 44 word dVerse special?

“Much”

//////////////////////////////////////////

The Failed Painter

I amended you the canvas

that one proving

again  

I am no painter

no artist

not even willing walls

of new heart’s homes  

edging tape, drop cloths

always

balled, tossed

but it needed

not much

just subtle signature

later

like forger or vandal

again

Just some guy in a Pirates hat, with a couple O’ cats and this blog … yeah, that’s about it.

    I like the way this spills down with very little punctuation, like dripped paint.
