A here I thought you were a Tarnished Knight. But then I learned uyou were a silver tongued devil, I once called you a big lug too, now you a painter with words. I guess that makes you a Renaissance man. Good poem.

Hi, TK. Glad to see you back and hope the health issues are less than they were. I saw a post from Mermaids today, so hope that means she is recovering. A lovely idea in the poem and so true--a writer can paint with words. You have some thoughts about making the sun shine and turning a dry field into one of clover. Words can produce feelings of wonder and anticipation. Great line;;"Painter without a brush." judi

So beautifully written TK and very masterfully done. This free verse poem is well penned and very easy to read and describes the love that you offer and have for your Mermaid.
This love is so strong that you paint her pictures with words that most ultimately can shine, dance brilliance and palate your poems discreetly on canvases of verses and lines. Thank you so much for sharing this with others including myself TK. You have a good one and may you both have a happy holidays.

    Thank you so much Alex I do hope to be in a postion again to take the time to read and write more Been a bit hectic here for sure but are starting to calm down..Was hard to get used to Mermaid in a wheel chair and having to carry her up and down the stairs as they are so steep to have a ramp it would be 15 ft long lol
    I know you are aware of the problems my friend .. I will be on before Xmas with a few more and will have the time to read and comment for a change

    You lucky dog you and you are so welcome. It got up to 71 today where I live but then it goes back to the cold 51s and down to low 40s. All I could be worse and not complaining. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.

I really liked this write, TK! Yes, it is so amaaazing to see all of the wonderful imagery, and emotion that a writer can produce sans paint brush.

"So let me paint for you
Let me make you sigh
Let me make you cry
Let me make you fall in love" .... magic, indeed!

Very nice, TK!

    Oh thank you dear Knight! I will send my Angel of blessings to you for you sweet Mermaid to watch over her and help he get well
    I tell my hubby it is funny when I set here it just seems to pore out onto the keys.If I could just get those typos under control.
reply by the author on 16-Dec-2013
    Not to worry typos are part of writing the main thing get it down then worry about the silly english and correct spelling..Many say count the words or syllables I say when you count you lose the rhythm and the heat of your words are interrupted by 1-2-3 1-2-3 I never count I just write Always remember you can break the rules of poetry Why? Just because you can Words of wiz-dumb from the wizard I sent you for that is what he told me

This work has reached the exceptional level

Aloha ATK,
My response to your beautiful poem, it deserves a "6",
My response in parentheses



You asked me if I am
Artist? You asked do
I paint?
To answer your question

Yes I do paint
But I need not a brush
For I paint with words

(You color my life
With words of cheer
I know not how you do it
You are so sweet my dear)

Words that reflect
Every color of the rainbow
I can make the sun shine
On a cloudy dreary day

(You can make me laugh
When I'm feeling low
The color in your words
Show your love you know)

I change a parched dry field
Into a bonnie field of clover
Or make rain drops come alive
With the sound of pitter patter
On your window sill

(Oh! The sound of pitter patter
How your words do inspire
They warm my lonely heart
And fill me with desire)

For my paint is magic
I will let you travel
To far off places
Feel things deep inside

(Words that tug at heartstrings
Bringing back memories in the heart
When love was young and sweet
Lost within the deepest part)

That you thought were gone forever
I can fill you with wonder
And the excitement of anticipation
Of a passionate love affair

(Your words stay in my heart
Not washed away with age
Coloring my mind and heart
In your words of love to bathe)

Yes I am a painter with out a brush
I would have it no other way

(You are blessed with words
That transfigure and inspire
Spreading a word rainbow
So many really do admire)

So let me paint for you
Let me make you sigh
Let me make you cry
Let me make you fall in love

(Here is my empty canvas
Please paint for me, my dear
Blend colors of the rainbow
With Love so bright and clear)

For I am the painter without a brush

TK, this one's lovely. There is so much with which I agree in this beautiful poem, because writers and poets are artist and paint/describe emotions, pictures and thoughts of themselves and others. Life would be rather dreary if we didn't exist. Thanks for a pleasant read. I hope you're well soon, and back to give 100 percent of your productive and creative mind.

    Thank you so much Titan I am on the mend, well really mended, its Mermaid that still has some issues with the cast still on her ankle Cant put any pressure on it so a walking cast is out of the question So I get to push her around a lot with no repercussions lol
