A
picture be it a photo or painting is worth a thousand words
Conveys
the threads of emotions into a charging herd
Or
a tranquil setting of grass being chewed before a river to cross
Colors
of changing emotions depending on view, to match words are at a loss
A
poet paints a scene with words that may or may not the viewer pierce
To
the wonder of meanings many different that can be released
Not
shared unless spoken with images conveyed
That
may the silence and comforts of thoughts betray
A
painting can be viewed by a crowd up close or afar
Distance
changing and angles and light changing to the images jar
In
a contest to win a young lady’s hand a poet will lose
Unless
alone or with him reading aloud a chance to his poem chose
Distance,
light and angles do not the memory images change
While
the memory images from a painting the mind can rearrange
Linda
Hamilton a woman of strong roles to celibacy of 15 years has confessed
While
indicating the attraction to a painter whose work for her so impressed
Probably
his portraits would in any viewing come alive
Faces
of hopes, failures, dreams, and successes would fade or survive
A
great actress almost ready and soon to turn 63
To
take the screen in a Terminator sequel to wow us with her artistry
