The poet as painter.

The easel stands waiting
as the poet prepares,
grinding notions into pigments
blessing the pallet.

He paints the canvas,
broad reflections of life,
untouched thoughts glide
from finger to brush.

    Each an artist in their own way,once put to pen and paper,we wait anxiously what the public has to say. Keep painting with your words.

    Wonderful…I can feel and see the words. I always wanted to paint, but I just don’t have that talent.
