i wanted to paint a picture
firmly in your mind
a myriad of broken pieces
to put together and find
i wanted to paint a picture
with words instead of lines
punctuation in lieu of colours
literary gradients and signs
i wanted to paint a picture
and let it run around in your head
i want you to see this part of me
and to leave all else unsaid
i wanted to paint a picture
with colours that never tire
something so vivid, so lit, so true
to set your imagination on fire
i wanted to paint a picture
so you could see what i see
so that then you can remember
this little piece of me

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it β and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Whoaaa, this was so beautiful!
Colorful, but that bouncy broken lilt. Well said.
Brenton, you have painted a picture in many a mind with your words. Keep it up. π€π»
This is just beautiful! I loved the way you ended it.
