Illustrator Poems | Examples

Loki

Smoke.
Works every time.
Want a challenge?
Mirrors.
Illustrator of illusions.

Light is the corruption, political parties -
Light is the greed, the wars, the nukes.

How can you not see it?
BLINDNESS....
Too much sun.

Pitch black.
So who is darker than who_?
Feed the beast.
The devil switched jerseys.

Pass you the ball but, break your nose.

WRITERS AND DRAWERS

Some of us are born to write... 
Others here to draw.
Either way, we paint our life
In living metaphor.
Everybody is creative,
Different and unique.
We are all strong, even when
We think ourselves as weak.
Words for some of us can be
A simple piece of cake.
Others' visions are told in
The pictures which they make.
Together, we can write a book
As well as illustrate.
Between us, ideas are endless
In what we can create.
There is no need to authorise
An author's collaboration
With a willing illustrator
And their joined foundation.

Dragon Becomes a Writer and Illustrator

Dragon wrote his memoirs from view of one
They were amazing; wild, adventurous and fun
Why don’t you illustrate them? Asked his son.
That is a terrific idea said his cousin Bun.

Dragon was hesitant a tiny bity bit.
He had never sketched even a small chit.
But once he started, he really got into it.
His marvelous drawings have a following said Whit.

I discovered him said his cousin Bun.
No! It was me argued his little son.
His drawings were my idea said Whit.
Grandma rolled her eyes. Don’t have a fit!

Lady In Waiting

Lady In Waiting
David J Walker 


A woman of common hope
Stuttered through stolen and broken
                 Scripture
An illustrator
 of common complaint 
More common in nuance of 
                 Failed restraint 
In the vaguest of hues
                 Of Aqua and blues

Her mother cried over her brother
Her mother lied concerning her father
Her mother died alone in aniline leather
A practiced Lady in Waiting

Clerihew Homer

Illustrator Winslow Homer
as a painter caused quite a stir
Depicting the force of nature
with sea studies so real&sure

Clerihew Rackham

Illustrator Arthur Rackham
known for 'pics' of Peter Pan
Robust colours in pen&ink
became his 'inventive technic'

Clerihew Yeats

For Jack  B Yeats
sibling fame was his sad fate
An illustrator was his particular art
also a poet for the main part

Treasures

Treasures
I know of Treasures.
I've calculated the measures.
The depth goes on forever.
An endless pit of darkness.
An Abyss thick like leather.
The deepest and darkest.
A Black ocean and silence is its successor.
The art or the artist.
The pictures or illustrator 
The creation or Our Creator.
He drew the equator and He
Deflated puffed up dictators.
There is no equivalence.
There is none greater.
Is it the Musician or the instruments.
To what level, to what layer.
Is it the Hero or the vigilance.
The devil or the prayer.

Clerihew Sloan

An illustrator was one John Sloan
as  cartoonist would never moan
Opposed to art used for proporganda
preferring social scenes comme ci comme ca*

*McSoneys Bar

Clerihew Rackham

Arthur Rackham the English illustrator*
had drawing at his very core
A leading figure of he 'Golden Age'
of Fairy Tales drawn on a page

Terrified of Being Outed

I did not know I was worthwhile when I was a child
I thought I was pretty, but that got bashed out of me
I knew I was bad; the belt proved that, right?

An artist? A poet? A cartoonist? A writer? An illustrator?
I was not told any of this; instead I thought I was dumb and weird.
We were told this, my sister and I, so we “would not get big heads.”

No worries there. We were terrified others would discover our secret.
Feared being found out, and outed, made fun of by the others.
It was bad enough we were fools in our own home.

Once Was An Illustrator

Once was an illustrator, sketched portraits of famous peeps
Mailed each 2 copies, one to sign and return, other to keep
Received over a thousand
Friends were totally astounded
John Wayne, Donald Trump(?) and John Glenn just 3 of heaps

brilliant man with nostalgia values

with dreams viewed of a perfect life 

depicting amusing scenes

with sense of humor, shown

with heartwarming bonds

memories fade

canvas art

Beatrix Potter

A good old duck, a mother hen, 
a friend of Peter Rabbit; chased 
Mr. McGregor out of the garden: 
the Flopsy Bunnies survive again.  

She knew her ewes from her rams, 
meticulous, house-proud in her way. 
A hedgehog, a Mrs. Tiggy Winkle 
every field mouse allowed to stay. 

Cumbria and the Lake District 
will never see her like again: 
North country girl, illustrator, 
storyteller with brush and pen.
