Brush Brush Sweet Charlotte

Charlotte takes an art class at the local Adult’s Education Center.

Charlotte daubed her brush with oil,
paints the medium her choosing.
Adult Education Center,
excitement oozing from old gal

a widowed brunette pencil thin,
she holds the palette color scheme.
Within a dream she is Van Gogh
intent to paint a Starry Night.

Blue remains her favorite color;
blend the landscape with the heavens.
Right at seven class beginning,
a gleam in Charlotte’s bright blue eyes.

Driving to the local center,
hope a heartbeat love afire.
All admire Charlotte’s passion,
yet the night is cold and cloudy.

Still inside the class attentive,
budding artists seated meekly.
This a weekly talent wanting—
time for Charlotte’s fervent brushing.

Eventually a starry night
found Charlotte painting Rome and pear.
Van Gogh the master, hues of blue;
success she found by being true.
