Montage Poetry

The words we use become pictures into lives
Pictures from words spread out for all to see
This is what becomes of our poetry
Has the makings of a montage to me
With words we complete many pictures
Pictures then arranged to fit in closeness
And so with our poetry I do believe
We create a montage for all to see

Yes indeed my friend. We paint pictures with our words and also give someone else a peek into our very souls. The Bible tells us that whatever is going on in our mind finds a way to manifest itself. We put our thoughts out for everyone to see. Great job. God Bless and Merry Christmas, JB
