This is another piece from the inspirational folk at Picture it and write
and this is the picture
and this is my take on it
You held a pencil , the artist emerged & crafted me into the person of your dreams your
– vision
From the pencil came the paint brush, master strokes & palette in hand you painted
– me
An idea, your masterpiece took shape until you thought it too hard to
– complete
But I am blood & bone, can you not see the colour of my skin or the hand that reaches out in
– mercy
Do you not feel my pain as you swiftly without just cause take away what you
– created
You encouraged me to grow, I came to life under each meticulous stroke of your
– brush
I did it out of love for you, removing me, will that give you
– pleasure
I see it in your face, damn it, let me
– be
don’t waste your time on another
– magnum opus
Ramblings From A Mum 
Wow! You came up with this… amazing. You are just getting better and better my lovely. Please don’t stop. If you don’t hear from me, know I am reading them and will catch up soon…
Hi darlin girl ..please I am not amazing – I write what is in my ‘noggin’ at the time. I will not stop …just don’t get fed-up 🙂 Thank you Shamz, …it’s ok I know you are busy 😉 xxx

Wonderful!! How long did it take you? You seem to be writing with such ease, wish I could say the same. Poetry just hasn’t really worked for me in a long time. 😉
I wish I could do this full time, I can’t stop, no matter how many I do, still more comes…it’s like a tap that won’t turn off! This I started it the night before so all up probably 45min – an hour give or take. Kyred try it?!! Free verse – you CAN do it honestly you can…think of Frost he would want you too 🙂 xxx
Auds I luvs ya 🙂 xx
I don’t know if I get this. I felt like it was a comment on the way we throw away a relationship when it seems imperfect instead of making the most out of what we already invested to make it work. I liked it, so I hope that was it!
Anne it was the relationship with the artist and her subject a metaphor for a woman who has moulded the person into what she wanted or believed to be her ‘perfection’, but once having ‘him’ as her ‘ideal’, she became bored with him and therefore started a ‘new project’. If this is what you got then you were right. 🙂 When I write sometimes there is no ‘hidden meaning or agenda’ to it, I simply put the words out that are in my head. Other way I am glad you liked – thank you 🙂
I know how it goes. Sometimes our art has ideas of its own it doesn’t tell us about til later.
You are so right there Anne 🙂
