Artisan Of Words Poem by Rani Turton

Artisan Of Words

Rating: 3.1


I am an artisan of words
Which I sculpt, chisel and fashion the way I can
I am a creator of worlds;
I pour my emotion into the poems I write.
I breathe life into them, blow them skywards
And finish them only when they sound right.

These remnants of thought without reason
Will remain on pages season after season
Long after I'm gone; when my task is done
The love, the longing, the pain
Will be evoked then by somebody else
Who in turn will remember and write again
To create another slow soft song
That people can read and draw into their hearts
Then pillowed by words, cushioned by dreams
My poems will ride high the moonbeams.

Dear Poet, there a beautiful quote which says - 'It is just the little difference between the good and the best That makes the difference between the artist and the artisan. It is just the little touches after the average man would quit That makes the master's fame.” This poem is an artisan's work No doubt about it. Very well composed...

Simple, but true. The not-so-vicious circle of inspiration. And not just poetic inspiration, either.
