Why is it that some words paint a thousand pictures…. <br />Whereas others possess neither paper nor palette? <br /> <br />Some are just so evocative <br />That the Magician that is the mind <br />Conjures colours and contours, <br />Amplifies and magnifies <br />But a single brush-stroke <br />Into a complete canvas of communication. <br /> <br />Let me give you the word that got me going <br />And see what you make of it for yourself: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ‘Sentinel’ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />One half of me thinks it better <br />To tell you what I thought, <br />The other, it would be best, perhaps, <br />Were I to just say naught………………<br /><br />Tony Jolley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/magician-mind/
