I am a poet-can't help it

The words play songs in my head

And need to be brought to the canvas

To paint a mosaic by lead.

My pencil hits white and expresses

A world that has color and hue

Some dark and disturbing ;some light and alluring

A kaleidoscope picture to view.

I am a poet-can't help it

The imagery dances in rhyme

My heart is laid bare to make others aware

Of the acts that play out in my mind.

I sing the glad song of the lover

I tell the fine tale of the wife

Some stories are bleak and others unique

I landscape the story of Life.

I am a poet-can't help it.
