word painting

`


if a picture paints a thousand words
and with words a poet a picture paints
then a poet's thousand though one picture paint
will have painted a thousand more

paint with words - use them bright and dark
loud and silent, whispery or brazen
paint in broad strokes or with fine
from thoughts to words to pictures sublime

if a poem is a picture of words made
then a poet's mind a varied brocade
and with words a picture a poet paints
a painter with words a poet paints
