NQML


 

The stylus touched the tablet
The lines started to take place
The colours merged together
And suddenly appeared a face

The eyes got bigger and bigger
The nose almost touched the floor
The mouth almost smiled, almost
And then appeared the jaw

The task was to paint an image
That would absolutely please her
But the outcome was oh so different
She was not quite the Mona Lisa

 

 

However, this is just the start…

      Ah, VK. The guy is actually a gal. And she’s Not Quite the Mona Lisa. There is a reason for the abbreviations, and I shall reveal more about this in due course.

      Sorry. I can’t get away from these cliff-hangers, can I…?

      Thanks, for saying so, Tess. I just like to do, that’s all… I’m not as talented as I’d like to be, but I try.
