The Poet as an Artist

As a painter Brushes and strokes Fortunes on the canvass Every Dab of paint a scene The Poet's brush are words Dabbed on the canvass of the mind Painting pictures with words The audience creates pictures from the Poets conjectures A painting is never finished The painter is never done So also is a poet, it is never done And never finished with a piece It's only done for the moment When they stop.
