Painted Notebook

A poem is a painting, it draws a sketch in your mind 

It starts off as emotion till the artist draws a line

It stars in blots, than connected dots until they see inspiration 

The artist could one day give up due to procrastination 

If they do it will never been seen by community 

If strong in heart and finishes the art everyone feels the world as he sees

A poem is a painting only it uses words, starts with one, then added some

Given some inspiration, the words which were painted will be loved by the world

Unlike a painting though a poem scratches the image In the back of your head

Unlike a painting it draws it's own inspiration 

A poem uses letter some will love or not quite comprehend 

Almost whispering a word of imagination 

You can take a poem with you until your final day

For it brings out a certain sentiment which cannot be said with paint
