A Fairy's Lovely Portrait A small, steady line Slowly curving into a petite face Two quick, soft, precise strokes And suddenly two perfect, turquoise eyes appear The brush is carefully set down to be replaced by the thinner bristle And two thin lines appear Widening, traveling downwards and curving Then a body appeared appeared Thin and long, suitable to it's small face The ink is quickly replaced with an assortment of paints Now this nameless body has a breathless quality A boldly painted quiet gold gown Long, flowing tresses of burning crimson hair And such delicate skin, like that of a porcelain doll But it has yet to be completed And then the artist raises his hands and carefully, carefully brings them With hundreds of strokes of his magic wand He gave the nameless body #life Made it a mesmerizing fairy With bright twinkling eyes All who saw were petrified by this fairy's lovely painting song
