Artist of the Mind
He chisels off excess letters knowing brevity counts
Then molding phrases into shape, he checks for tired clichés.
The lightest touch of sandpaper on words hard to pronounce,
creates unhindered flow in a poem which will inspire.
He paints colorful shades of thought mid passion and desire
to temper heads, hands, and hearts with ideas that amaze.
A poem taken from his kiln, readied for some crossfire
is composed in three-dimensions and each is paramount.
