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

Wonderfully done, Michele! Reminds me a tiny bit of 'Skillful Poet', only by someone whose skill level is quite a bit more mature than my own. Fantastic imagery, as always. :-)
