Paint Write

I paint when I write

I write when I paint

Chisel

Chisel, chisel, away

Night and day

Let no one stop you

Let that emerge what's true!

Short Circuit

Poetry, essentially

is a short circuit.

Blows your fuse!

________________________________________

Does poetry scare you?

Why?

That it is a coded language

which bypasses your walls

reaches your heart?!

________________________________________

Tweaking

A tweak here, a cut over there,

a turn of phrase.

Pull back and look again.

Read it out loud, sounds good?

You have a poem there

The Poetic Path

All who are born are destined to die.

The path you choose is entirely on you.

And there are those who walk,

helpless, down the poetic path.

________________________________________

Regardless

A poet is one,

who having written

the perceived truth,

doesn't edit it

goes ahead

and shares

with the world.

Regardless!

Don't just stand there

Don't just stand there,

Do something.

Sit.

Like a Buddha!

Painting Poetry

Painting is poetry with colors,

Poetry is painting with words!

Deed

Poetry is a deed.

Indeed!
