Paint a Picture

If I could take a picture
why would I need to exist?
I can be an album,
and relay the memories.

If I were the picture
what purpose would I store?
I would feel like a bore
Only one scene I could hold.

Unless my elements were perfect,
texture, contrast, sharpness, light
I can captivate your eyes,
can you captivate my mind?

I can sit and paint a picture
wouldn't be the same as day
for my style would be my canvas
uniquely stretched, painted, and framed.
