A poem I wrote, inspired by my painting of the same name.

Minimalist Beauty
Original poem by Francesca Bandino
Simple and wise
Always be kind
This may be
The definition of perfection
But I’m not so refined.
What seems perfect to you
Isn’t perfect to me.
I take pride in the imperfections
I move and flow freely
Yet, the lines you drew
Confined me
Held me in
Kept me within
The walls of your expectations.
They were drawn hastily
Without regard
For my pride and perseverance
Don’t go any further
Stay where you are
There’s beauty in
The messy details of it all.
