One last dot



A dot of varnish
A cherry on the top
Of every nail
Dont stop mum dont stop
Can I try the lipstick
And make it drop
Or make whiskers like tigers from mascara chop en
Can I hold the brush softly to your face
Making rainbows of colour
In all its disgrace

    Your poem is a delightful and creative expression of playing with makeup and colors. The imagery you use to describe the process of applying makeup is vivid and playful. It captures the joy and fun of experimenting with different looks. Keep embracing your creativity and having fun with makeup!
