You give me some paper and a new ink pen <br />And I’ll just let the words start to begin <br />But if it’s a picture from me you desire <br />To say it would be perfect would make me a liar <br />All of my lines just can’t seem to be straight <br />And as for staying in the lines, I’m really not great <br />Everything seems to go ever which way <br />But ask me to write and I’ll know exactly what to say <br />The words I just sit and let them come <br />As easily as painting is to someone <br />A picture I can create with words few or much <br />And into someone’s life they often touch<br /><br />Mary Ryan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poet-paints-pictures-with-words/
