I am Paint
The winds places on my face
Like paint onto a canvas
Wisping my hair across my forehead with strokes of radiant red
Light layered lines
Accompany caressed crashing curls
Soon my whole body turns to paint
Blotched boldly
Bounded to the paper
Heavy bounces of bristles bind together
Tedious traces of tiresome lines longing
for direction
Arms curve cascading in confusion
Stomach jolts jaggedly
And my legs lounge lazily
I turn to splotches and spillage
I fall off the hard dense canvas
And plunge into a puddle
Misguided mismatched colors blend
Into a swirl of singing shades

This pieces was insipired simply by my art class, during our painting unit. It made me think of how I would paint myself, and my feelings. I used imagery and description of the paint to describe my confused, and messy emotions, and then at the end of the poem I become happy, which is represented by falling off the canvas.
