I am an Artist

Nature

There is a print of you in my poem.

It is my Octopus in the air,

snipped from a newspaper.

It has its neighbours of my creations on my page,

of a Dragon's Flame,

sun & rose are the colours - the colour of a star,

from a tradition and tale.

And this is the only picture,

of stripes fashioned for the hover of a bee,

The symmetry of the tower,

the illustration of a dragonfly.

For I am an artist, it must be true.
