Two little girls at play
Made my day—
Their creativity and intelligence
Precursors to intuition and benevolence—
Time waited patiently in the room
While the girls found colorful markers
And approached with sweet diffidence the whiteboard
Quietly drawing along the bottom edge flowers and waves of green
Portraits of peace and gentle ministrations,
Transcending tired masculine boasts
With fresh minted touches of feminine grace—
Art and artists by beauty bound
A theme of piercing loveliness
Lace-like enhancing a day of chores.
