I reworked and revamped this piece for a Poetry (Scholarship) Contest which I entered in Spring of 2000. Unfortunately, I was not a finalist.
The pertinacious parisian artist
Strenuously hunches over her easel
As she critically examines
Her incomplete portrait
Removing her stylish beret
Oppressed by the scorching afternoon sun
She clutches a paintbrush
And tenaciously strokes vivid colors
Grasping the palette
Sweat pours from her pale, exhausted face
And then she collapses
Into the painting
