The Hand of a Poet With the pen as the brush, paper as the canvass The Hand of a Poet strokes his thoughts Like the painter, he too produces the picture Using your mind as the backdrop With a dash of feeling here, and a little emotion there The hand of a poet strikes deep from the heart Places the heart of the matter upon you the reader Van Gogh and Renoir were remarkable with their brush Like the poet, they too must have had a steady hand Like the Painter, Shakespeare and Hemingway, must have had a heavy heart Contrasting yes, opposite I dare say That hand of a poet, is a hand of extraction Unlike the artist, for today I will sigh and prove my point this way For their will be no retraction One simple statement from the poet and you will relate For with this you will understand why As the words of emotion from the heart seal your fate To you I say, I've yet to look at my favorite Renoir painting and start to cry Copyright © 2001 Dennis Hicks All Rights Reserved by Author |

dhicks03 No matter the print or picture, it is the mind of the beholder that makes the music. Enjoyed. |

I love the line "Using your mind as a backdrop." A wonderful thing to keep in mind...the reader provides many of the fibers of the "canvas." I have wept when viewing a painting, but I believe it was only one. "Forgiven," yet, unfortunately, I don't recall the artist's name. But I do know that my personal experience and knowledge had a great deal to do with my perception, as with any piece of art. You've penned a fine weaving! Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
