"my Painting"

Like a painting on the wall, a story not yet told... The colors like words flow together and never old.. Step into this scene as you read my words aloud... My pencil like a brush travels across like a cloud... This canvas takes a meaning as the lines start to blend... My pallet is my mind as I draw from life with little mend... Framed by a trampled path that holds together this scene.. Sentences like a landscape show a man from a teen... Left with words and colors to express myself through my dreams... Now on a wall and in a book this life is how it seems...

One thing is for sure, Michael "WOW!" Honestly I love your Haiku. But, this one is splendid! The image of the pencil across the paper really is magnificent as the brush painting the clouds in the sky. In a way I think the youth of the poet is always the best. As we get older our poetry gets better. But, it will never compare to the talent we had when our minds painted our first words, loved it,..LeeAnn
