An artist can express his innermost thoughts,
With canvas and brush.
The scenes he creates are publically awed,
"What a beautiful painting" they sigh and gawk.
Everyone knows the Mona Lisa.
The sculptor makes himself known,
With chisel and stone.
The statues he creates are admired afar,
"Look at the detail" they stand and paw.
Everyone knows The David.
The poet is known,
With mighty pen in hand.
He writes and say "isn't that grand?"
His friends read and say "that's wild!"
But does anyone know the poets inner smile?
