Long On writing and wordspoetry Poems

An Artist

The printed word, to me, is art.
As beautiful as any painting.
Poetry, prose or a well written book,
Is an art form, I'm maintaining.

When I create a tactile piece
With wood or wool or clay,
I'm fiercely proud of what I've made.
About poetry, I feel the same way.

I have a creative personality.
It appears in forms, varied.
Writing is just one of my tools.
My thoughts to paper, carried.

So an artist I consider myself
Though I don't paint landscapes bright,
But in other ways, an artist I am,
With my crafts and the poetry I write.
