brushing the colors across
this blank page canvas
we seee the pictures of his mind
pictures of his life
shared with us all

from his mind's palatte
patterns of words form
kalideoscopic shapes of a world
a world of love
shown to us all

he signs his name
to his life's work
a name of a poet long ago
a name of poetry
a poem of heart

Sven -
I am overwhelmed - (strange to be at a loss for words   ) Thank you so much -
I'm not feeling too good at the moment - I hope to be feeling better soon - it is an effort to be at PC for any length of time right  now. rest assured as soon as i'm feeling better i will be posting - and I know I 'll be able then to reciprocate as i'd like to right now.
Thank you so much

Sir Sven,
accurate and timely from the sounds of it. Wonderful work. Does your muse go into the recipient's houses and peek over their shoulders to get such a spot on picture. Seems like it.

Sven when I read the title "Painter of Words" it was as if you didn't even need to place his name there...I immediately knew exactly who you were talking about...he does have a gift of expressing his feelings so well...James

Sven,

Wonderful tribute to a wonderful poet.  I see you found your way to the library after all!!

Sven, again you have captured the essence of this poet and have yourself painted his colorful character. And he does paint with his heart and his passion.
I hope he is able to come back and join us real soon, and my best wishes go out to this painter of words
THanks, Sven for another wonderful portrait

Is there going to be a collection of these that I can read later on when you finish?  Cause I really do not so much enjoy getting started and then having to deal with the anticipation of waiting for the next one!
