Sometimes on eBay's site I've seen
An artist's merchandise,
Such that, when I feel oh so keen,
Each one's a real surprise...
With greeting cards like mini prints,
Or fine art calendars,
Or maybe plates not meant to rinse
That no-one could surpass...
Perhaps a jigsaw puzzle's sold,
A cavalcade portrayed,
With animals both brave and bold,
Pieced well and then displayed...
Or maybe there's a watch to buy,
Or T-shirt I could wear,
Delivered here to test and try,
Kept safe within my care...
Yet canvas prints are worth much more,
I hang these on each wall,
Sometimes I simply stare in awe
At each new miracle...
I like to think the artist's glad
That I should buy his art,
That he shared all he ever had
That God put in his heart...
Denis Martindale March 2017.
