《They》say
Just a dab’l do ya
Or will it do ya in
A spot of paint can spread awry
Destroy the image in one’s eye
Every drop of perspiration
Dampened by a single stroke
Do I start anew
It’s only paint and paper
dversepoets.com Quadrill Monday, late. The word is “dab”

Maybe you take the spread paint … create something unique, brand new. A lovely poem.
