Unfinished

I’m working on this story

and this poem

and this painting…

but I have

a quandary

a dilemma.

How will I know

when its finished?

I dab a bit more paint

on the canvas,

hoping I haven’t ruined it.

I add a twist to my story,

that the killer is actually

the driver, not the hitcher,

if that makes sense?

Does the story end there?

Maybe I should add a police chase

and a shoot-out.

I write another line

of the poem

adding astounding alliteration

but does it work?

Is it finished?

I’m working on this story

and this poem

and this painting…
