Knew I had to start this

Lots of things on the list

Hopefully you will get the gist

Needed to insist

Couldn't take the risk

Maybe even persist

Some couldn't resist

Even created something unrelated

Now someone needs to take it

You can't mistake this

Would just have to make it

No way to fake this

Everything in their right places

Just going through the paces

Continued to create

As stated I have a craving

Some think it is amazing

Even used some glazing

But that is not connected to what I am now raising

Some looked at my work and couldn't stop praising

I continued to come up with new ways of creating

This was the course I had chartered

Wasn't the smartest

Not even the fastest

But everything I made had lasted

Told everyone you just can't go past this

This was the vocation I had mastered

Just a starving artist

For Fun
