The Artist and the Poet

I sat myself upon a hill to get a better view
Of the valley down below, wet with morning dew
I scribbled little reference words on my yellow pad
Noticing the beauty of what Mother Nature clad
As I sat and wrote my words an artist came around
With paints and brushes in his bag, an easel on the ground
I watched him go about his task of setting all just right
Mixing up his colors to let his brush take flight
Broad, the strokes that made the sky and little squiggle lines
That made the shapes of bushes and tall and slender pines
And, green, the meadow brought to life with yellow daffodils
Orange, the leaves of hardwood trees scattered on the hills
So lifelike was his work that I had to give him praise
He asked to read my poem, and after, seemed amazed
For we had told the story of this valley and the wood
The artist and the poet, so much alike, we stood.

Likeable rhymes. There's a slight outage on the rhythm on the third that I noticed, but nothing as major as have me regurgitate it back to you.
Well presented.
Keep writing. |
