The Art of Wrting

A poem about the art of writing

Ink glids across an empty canvas;
Whiteness smudged with velvet ebony--
A menagerie of words in pure iambus;
Captured in a book of sheer poetry;

An author's masterpiece of great literature--
A poet's heart  that is set to music;
The words of Yeats, Wilde and Shakespeare
Told by the masters in a style that is unique.
