Juvenilia ... Apprentice

Today's word is "juvenilia" ... joo-vuh-NIL-ee-uh. works, especially writings produced in one's youth. (Dictionary.com)

Apprentice
The artist works his magic,
Everybody sighs,
The lines are just magnificent,
Seems he doesn't even try.

His hues are kaleidoscopic,
Though his process is obscure,
The critics swoon with fervor,
As if they know his meaning, sure.

His juvenilia reveals,
A different, labored story,
Years of practicing his craft,
Before this (instant) glory.
