words worthy shape

naught poetry

with pictures 
and paint 
pencil doodles 
smearing pastel 
once was I an artist 
of visual persuasion 
unsteadily my shaken 
hand moved over 
many media medium 
small and large 
acrylic stone 
wooden gouache 
encaustic watercolour 
drawn to paint 
sculpting from life 
once was I 
now words written 
stories imagined 
do dance alphabetical 
through mine mind 
and I walk a frost 
written road 
looking hardly back 
to those I framed 
under brush 
they please me 
letters in patterns 
of words forming 
sentences arranged 
in stories unfolded 
on paper 
shall a time come 
again when a thousand 
words become one picture
