Michael J. Falotico Poet Rhyme

"why I Write"

Dabbled in painting years back...
Followed Bob Ross to keep it in tact..
On my wall a few still be...
Family have one or two for me to see..
Sold one when a friend saw my art..
A great feeling to know someone thinks Im smart..
But unlike poems that get passed along..
This little painting I can't see no longer ..
So for now my brush is packed away..
Till that inspiration comes another day..
I will now paint with my pen because it feels right..
Unlike my art I can just click and their in my sight..

Rauwolfia Ra May 21, 2010 at 6:18 AM A really beautiful poem, I whish there were more synonyms for beauty, then perhaps I could describe peoples poems better, but every time, beauty just sneaks into my comments, I'll try to catch her next time.
