A Painting Poem by Gert Strydom

A Painting



The same face is painted
on all the canvases,
and whether she looks up, down
or straight at you
loveliness is mirrored

in her eyes, her face
and slender body
and she could be anyone
as she gives a own meaning
to everyone that watches her

and although similarity
to a real person
is portrayed in every way,
she remains
reflected as the painter
viewed her.
