Oh, Paintress
She sits in the back of the room
The cute, nerdy girl
Creating new worlds on her easel
And colorful scenes upon the canvas
A bead of sweat above her dark brow
With arms backlit by the lights overhead
Long, black hair flowing down her back
Not a single curl among them
Simple frames accent her youthful face
As she gazes ahead to evaluate her work
The ironic juxtaposition
Of beauty intently viewing beauty
With smudges of paint on her delicate cheeks
She smiles at her project
Never realizing the simple fact
That she is the real masterpiece
