II.VII
In her mind she plans a change in her direction
abandoning her love of portraiture;
a solo show of all her new collection
will be the goal for her final year adventure.
No oils in use the painting of her vision
has dried enough for her to treat and seal;
With luck she'll no more suffer such derision
and hopes that her new painting will appeal.
Although today's the Festival of Gifting,
tomorrow brings the opening of stores
and with that comes the spectacle of grifting
with a steady ring of pawn shop's open doors.
