A TOASTY TREAT

Shameless Rosella!

Attacking my morning toast

While I am blinded by the glory of your plumage!

A Small Canvas

COLOR CARNIVAL

A SMALL CANVAS

I have painted my life

On a tiny canvas.

*

It has been brightly coloured

With pretty little patterns

All over it.

And a few

Black smudges.

But it hasn't amounted to much.

*

No-one ever wanted to frame it!

No-one ever asked me to give

An Exhibition.

No-one ever 'wrote me up'

In the local press.

*

No-one ever discussed

My picture.

No-one ever analysed

The emotions and technique

That lay behind my work.

*

I wanted to use broad strokes

And create a masterpiece.

But I never found the right canvas

And I lost the brush.

After a while

The paints dried up.

*

I'll throw them away.

Soon.

*

My life is displayed

On a Post-It note.

With a sticky back.

So that it can be removed

And tossed away,

With ease.

*

Post-It notes

Don't survive for long.

*

Maybe I am less than a Post-It note.

 Maybe I am just a pixel.

 Maybe most of us are pixels.

*

It is only when pixels are seen en masse

That they amount to anything.

*

But one missing pixel

Isn't missed.
