Word Art

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but who really determined that?
Personally I find it hard to believe, a claim not based in studies or fact
For can a picture of a yellowed wood, convey the heart of Robert Frost?
Can one painted work describe Juliette’s love how she had it and how it’s lost?
Would a sketch of green ham tell the story of Sam and inspire new endeavors?
Can a snapshot of Pooh bear and Christopher Robin tell of a friendship that last forever?
Yet museums still charge lots of money just to look,
While libraries beg for you to come take a book.
And I want the world to see what I’ve always known in my heart

That words, as much as paintings, are an amazing form of art.
