Can you spare me a minute please?
This is no tease
I want to say
something to day.

I just want you to lend an ear
to Van Goch here.
His own dropped off;
no need to scoff.

Its colour doesn't matter see,
an artist he
can paint it pink,
or so I think.

Hi Tina,
Thank you for taking the time to read and review. They were touching moments that really define, for me, that giving isn't always a tangible thing. :)
