A Poets Picture

a poets picture, a wordsmiths maze 
a beautiful painting , by an artist who’s crazed 
poetry is blues without any rhythm 
like serving a lifetime in a self made prison 
still one true and  guiding light 
expression of thought so i can sleep at night 
pen on paper or line in the sand 
can it stand the test off time

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Poets can express an idea and that idea can be interperted so many ways by the reader. Good idea presented here. Keep writing. Sara
