Dipped my brush in palette
Wish to fill my canvas with yellow,
the symbol of aspiration.
Started painting my sky
with yellow that bear
resemblance to heaven.
Planted my garden with
dandelions and daffodils
that outspreads
beauty and happiness
but an anonymous
nasty blooded palm
imprinted on my canvas
made my yellow painting
hideous and unworthy.
