Happy Accident

By Andrew R. Duckworth

You have those hues,
Paint a pretty picture.
Careful with the brush strokes,
But don’t let them define you.
So some white got in the blue.
Call ‘em clouds and keep going.
Your brush struck the canvas?
Good, a nice horizon line.
The green got away from you.
The land needed some trees.
Got some blue flooding down.
The trees survive with water.
Now, look at it.
Can you put your name on it?
