We created art today,
my son & I crafting a masterpiece.
Weaving figure 8s, sweeping our brushes across,
we dominated the back yard.
We created art today.
He used the green, I the orange.
No blade stood a chance
as we blanketed every square inch of our canvas.
We created art today
amidst a stifling heat.
We left, covered in green bits of canvas
from which we had crafted.
We created art today,
art of the best kind.
Art that gives you hope
and makes you laugh.
We created art today,
art that displays real life.
And spotlights the best this life can offer.
Art that beckons others’ enjoyment.
We created art today
and we’ll do it again next week.
When the long blades call out
for a father and son to create a masterpiece.
