Yellow Bird

[nounofme]

Poem of the Day

I painted her with green hair

the first tube of paint I chose

I painted hair

on a bare white canvass 

I knew it was her

I used plus signs for eyes in red

then with an artistic touch

I sat a bird in her hair in yellow

with black eyes

but before I knew it

without thinking much

I painted a log cabin over her face

then streaked the canvas with orange

and suddenly I was finished

as suddenly as I started

I allowed the painting to rest for a month or so

and then I signed it

with my noun

I think the yellow bird

was wonderful
