THE POET'S WORK

by Dr. Rick McGrath, Ph.D.
(Modesto)

As an artist creates his masterpiece
The poet yarns together his tale
To capture with grand fascination
Imagination and emotion must flow.

Set in a scene of grassy meadows
The sound of blue birds singing
As they rest amongst the daffodils
Their souls became bound as one.

She glows of joy as a new bride
Her brown hair in hidden curls
Hiding behind her smile a blush
As he compliments her beauty.

He himself clothed in refinery
Every hair combed and waxed
His blue eyes give away desire
Dry throated he speaks romance.

A performer of written word
As Rembrandt a master of art
Capturing the mind of the reader
The poet scribes his storied work.
