She asked for a picture
painted just so
flowers and rainbows
in watercolors shown.

But out of paint
I had to make do
so with pen in hand
I painted my view.

Words on a page
that live and breathe
words on a page
that create a scene.

I handed it finished
she said "Where's the paint,
these are just words
a picture it ain't".

But then as her eyes
started to read
as her mind let go
imagination released.

I saw a smile of wonder
a look of surprise
she saw the picture
in her minds eye.

Awesome! Yes, that is poetry....the painting....with our words....and the
imagination that removes the cover from
the canvas and exposes the art...
