Erase This!

Erase This!

A Poem by MandaBear
"

I was looking for something to write about and this is what I found : A pencil eraser being used on an art project that it doesn't like. So I tried tell me what you think :)

"
A unique painting just about to be finished 
Nothing seems to be wrong 
A splashing of soothing blues 
And a vibrant shades of red descending through

This awe-striking colors flowing 
The true expression the drawing shown
Yet something seems to be wrong 
Something is coming.......

Is that a eraser coming near?
To foil the very lines 
Of a captivating work of graphic proportions 
It is coming to destroy the textile of this drawing

Its comes with vengeance against the paper
Scratching, Erasing, Back and Forth
Making the marks disappear faster than they appeared
Erasing the memory of dramatic emotions that lay

Harder and harder its tries to overpower the strokes
It wont be happy until the deed is down
A blank page it will be when it has won
For the pain the artist must suffer 

For now the eraser has gotten rid of all the imperfections 
Now it is the pencils turn 
To the powers which it was anointed 
For the power of the the precious point

"To draw or not to draw that is up to the eraser"

This reminds me of a lot. This poem was a piece of art.

ok, you love ancient greek's poetry right?
my first impression reading this (before saying anything, it's an impression, it doesn't need to have a logic xD) was of a Homeric Odysey's fight played by two "smaller and weaker" parts: the pencil and the eraser. I bet you read a lot of Homer since after reading many of your works i can say for sure you (just like him) is perfectly able to write a story in verses. Now coming back to what i love the most (english literature), do i catch a Shakespeare's "modified version" on the last stanza? (To be or not to be, that is the question) *__*

Very clever. I loved the last line, 'To draw or not to draw that is up to the eraser.' You made something very simple seem interesting. Great job!
