Dear author,
Your personification in this poem is outstanding. I'm sorry I do not have any 6's left.
It's sensual, yet innocent message gives your paintbrush character and life.
Good luck in the contest with this exceptional work.
Cindy

Did you write this one night in bed? Many words penned are similes and subliminally suggestive. Good luck......................................................................

    I don't need to be in bed to think up innuendo!

I really enjoyed reading your short story. As a painter, your words were relatable. I enjoyed the imagery your words created. The artwork works perfectly. Did you paint it?

    Thanks for reviewing, fellow painter. No, I don't do realist/surrealist work like that... the credit line is in the notes at the bottom.

Well written. Good work.
What is 'tearaway'?
I think you described my pencil - with a mind of its own it scratches semblances of words across page after page, totally indecipherable when it comes time to transcribe them to type.
Good luck and best wishes.

    In my country the definition of tearaway is someone who behaves in a wild or reckless manner.
    As I am left-handed, my writing sounds like a good match for your scratchings.

Seems like there was a "brush with romance" here, which Hayley handled up to a certain point. Looks like she finally got a grip on what made her happy. Different strokes, I guess.

    She fell in love with Art - maybe that's what she named her paintbrush.

Some time later, he became her lover.- this line brings forth some imagery I'm not really sure the writer intended... (or given the final paragraphs, maybe you did)

and pairing it with the previous association of him being like a teenage boy is a bit worrying...

All the best

    Intentional. It's a progression from inexperience to artistic accomplishment, and a connection for life, like a relationship maturing.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is the best of the Personification poem that I have read so far. Beautifully expressive, and I truly love the image of the paintbrush having a mind of it's own, progressing from a wild-child to a more mature and artistic instrument. Very very well done.

Hayley's paintbrush had a mind of its own, so despite mischief, her order of identification of the mischief doer was right and she needed the mischief doer boy and he personified her and now they would grow old together; well said, well done; post more. ALCREATOR LITT DEAR (D R)
