(No, the poem is not about the painting. I actually found this lovely painting AFTER I wrote this poem. Yah, rly. I kno, rite? /endchatspeak)


A demon in your brain
A kitten in the rain
Sunny river days
Lonely morning haze
Smokey, shiny chimneys
Deep and dirty /
Truly noteworthy
Unapologetic
Super Empathetic
Insultingly Energetic
Jolting in the knees
Locks beneath your feet
There's danger in this heat
Reminiscent
Omniscient
Omnivorous
Inefficient
Yet delicious
like golden fishes
