From a Tiny Speck of Dust

source   From a Tiny Speck of Dust       Conveyance of one's heart In poetic interlude Requires a bit of skill It's not a simple thing to do   To build a mighty forest From a tiny speck of dust Thesaurus in one's hand Parchment, quill and ink a must   At first to sketch the framework With the artist's mighty pen Then ambiance and color Softly wander in   Throughout the toil and trouble Stroking with Thesaurian brush Springs forth from desolation Forest fashioned emerald, lush   So therefore inspired comrades Arm thyself with tools of trade Contemplate poetic form Peruse a classic once per day   Compile your toolbox wisely Furnish it with skills inside Your work will rise much higher From the aptitude you'll find   For it requires more than talent And an artist's loving touch To build a mighty forest From a tiny speck of dust           -Michele Cameron Drew  Copyright © 2009 Michele Cameron Drew.
