The Canvas

The other day I thought to paint a tree,

So bought a canvas & paints in my, box;

As offered mere one, rest inaccessible,

An upshot to draw with aesthetics I want.

 

Painted, alas, effects weren’t in accordance,

And as only one canvas, no another thought;

Arduous to find an alternate or to repaint,

Would cost to erase, repeat, until what sought.

 

As perfect as canvas was, flaws on it was perceptible,

Reiterating, an anguish & conferred shalt never be same;

So meandered in open from ‘space’ to another,

To get a new canvas, maybe more, but not selfsame.

 

I found what in need & all paints too I changed,

As this would be a novel canvas, with restored seeds;

Pledged not to let what’s on first to swipe on this,

Knowing it would taint; thus all acts never to repeat! 😊
