Poem For A Young Artist

________________________________________________________________________________________________

behind her years
beyond her ears
WHERE  
laughter and tears
shouts and cheers
locks and gears

the domain
of loss and gain
TILTS
toweringly toward
the latter
    
but how are you graded?
    
and if you traded    
ten selfies for one true friend
you would get a better blend
of art and reality
of ha ha ha
and HAstility
 
behind and beyond
the eyes
lurks the big prize
but the true artist
can vary its size
    
and when walking
on the flying trapeze
know when 
NOT to sneeze
    
but ALWAYS
when to copyright
     
good night
sweet K

I've nothing
more to say

***

PAUL OLIVERIO
