Artists collection

Day 32

I seem to collect everything
I seem to collect stuff
An artist is a messy thing
no collection is enough

half finished canvas's
a box of bits of paper
Most already used. Filed,
I will do them later

Brushes with no bristles
some to hard to use
Some still in their packets
Still they are brand new

Giant tins of tubes of paint
everywhere you look
Shelves filled to the brim
Of every artists book

Most the tubes are empty
one more squeeze will do
Or they are all hardened
Or they're split right through

Coloured pencils, pastel,
carbon and without
Most are blunt and rounded
A sharpener, been without.

Lots of 'try it later'
lots of 'not quite due
Never did do it.
But at least its there for you
