A Poet's Ruse

A Poet's Ruse

A Poem by Steven Hicks
"

I wrote this with my more artistic friends in mind.

"

Let me paint you a picture

Please don't walk away

I promise to be more vivid

Than simple shades of grey

 

Greens and Yellows

Reds and Blues

I can offer 

Many  hues

 

So take a seat

And sit real still

This kind of art

Has its own will

 

My hand is guided

By forces unseen

Making permanent marks

That can't be redeemed

 

When it comes time

To reveal what I've done

Even I must admit

These words aren't quite as fun

 

But these ticks on this line

Are all I've got

Thank you for your time

It was worth a shot
