Maybe I should paint-

a panicking parrot perfectly packing,

a beastly bear beheading breathless bats

or a rebellious rhino raging restlessly

maybe I should paint-

a loud lion leaping,

a bewildered baboon

or a shy sloth sniffling

Maybe I should paint-

a wonderful wren with white lilac wings like feathers of milky ways,

a slimy snake slithering past a rushing lake

or a fluttering flamingo flying over five fancy flats

maybe I should paint-

a mind of magic,

a toppling tower of tasks

or an igloo of imagination

maybe I should paint-

a poster of pets,

a library of love

or a galaxy of gasps

wait! I should paint…

smooth sandstone on the beautiful beach like little conkers from tall trees.
