The artist has a palette
Of bright colors he can use.
And he blends them as he paints
In a potpourri of hues.
The writer uses words,
As he "paints" with much detail,
To convey his thoughts and stories
In a colorful portrayal.
Paintings made with words,
Using beautiful expression,
Can heal and bring contentment
Or make valuable impression.
Blending words together
In delightful camaraderie
Can brighten up a rainy day
With stories, warmth and comedy.
The artist and the writer
Speak the language of the heart
With paintbrush and with pen...
One in writings, one in art.
