True craftsmanship

create a picture 

using a pen and paper 

needs some craftsmanship 

bend these words on the anvil 

to make something much greater

it is easy to write a haiku/tanka 
but the art is to create a picture ..like a blacksmith 
it takes true craftsmanship to make it happen with just so few words .. 
with this i call it " the wordsmith "

    The wordsmith would be a fitting title for this piece...Raul

    A picture or an emotion...to transmit a sentiment... I love this tanka, Marco; particularly, its last line. Good job! Ruben.
