does pride make you blind?

My dad's an artist, was the proud exclaim
From a smiling countenance that did proclaim
A pride at once haughty and yet quietly sincere
But do I truly deserve this praise so dear
With bits of pigment and chalks of varied hue
A series of scribbles from pencils and pens, too
That which is not seen takes form in vague
Driven from within as by some strange plague
Always, they are still never quite right
The many flaws and lackings rip at weary sight
So where is this artist known to the lauding one
When these crayon creations are not ever really done
Please enlighten this one if you will
All the uncertainty's causing the hand to still
Do these marks stir & shine in an inner light
Because my hagard vision has become a blight
Tell me, dear child, what is it that YOU see
When the thousands of corrections aren't enough for me
Is there some aura draped as an insightful curtain
That allows you to aver the artist for certain

| a mistake can create a masterpiece. a mistake can destroy a masterpiece. that just came to my mind when i read this. i liked this poem, i like your type of tone with using vagueness, yet powerful words, to convey your meanings. |
