The Art of Poetry

I used the quote "Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks"-Plutarch for a contest I hope you enjoy!!

  

Lifting the brush to create art

Drawing the inspiration from the world around 

The painter uses each brush stroke masterfully 

Speaking with all the colors 

A writer takes his mighty pen to paper

Creatively writing a new world with their words

Daring to say what most people don't 

Changing your mind with the written word

Painting is like words on a canvas 

Writing is painting on paper 

With every passion and feeling without a sound

Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks

There is nothing like seeing the world through a poets eyes. We see all the tiny details that can turn the mundane into the magical (a quote from my favorite poet Lydi).
Your poem is lovely.

You have created a well crafted thought I'm sure many here believe to be very true. I know I do. Well balanced and well done.
