The Way of Painting Words

A poem is...

Like Van Gogh's art,

Prized with chocolate box perfection.

A butterfly,

Hidden at the beginning,

But majestic at day's end.

A delicately sewn web of a mischievous spider,

Who is waiting to catch its quarry.

A flawlessly painted canvas,

Whose euphoric brushstrokes resemble the veiled words.

An alluring field of bluebonnets.

Which are sprinkled with pleasant morning dew.

An arduous game of chess,

Where players compete until they triumph.

A fierce, untamed and unashamed stallion,

Running unbound in the vast wilderness of life.
