The painter

Sometimes, just sometimes I wish I could paint

Could paint the rolling hills
Lush green grass blowing
Swaying in the wind

Could paint the golden leaves
Gleaming in the light
Of the afternoon sun

Could paint the quaint little houses
Thatched with straw
Giving an impression of a time long ago

Could paint the apple trees
Boughs heavy with fruit
Hanging low to the ground

Could paint the people passing by
Smiling and laughing
In the autumn light

Sometimes, just sometimes I wish
My paintings were more than just blobs of paint

Author notes

I know blobs of paint can sometimes be called great art, but I don't think so ^^

Please tell me what you think
