the poet the poet
the artist

only half of the piece
the reader, the singer, the viewer, the listener, the reader
is half of the piece

the writer, the painter, the prophet, the poet
only half of the piece

if not more,
than less
of the rest,
the best

the scribe
the muse
the influence
infused

the reader
ah the reader
the audience
infused

so much so much
more to the influence
the language
the interpretation
infused

the heart
the mind
the spirit
soul
and kind

the artist the artist
only half of the piece
if that
than the least
defined

the audience the audience
AHHH!
there is the key

the artist the artist
OHHH
only HALF of the piece

the artist the artist
AHHH!
is merely a leader

the rest, the rest
the best...

is up to
the reader!
