This is one of the oldest I have on here... written way back in high school.
CraftMaster
The arts and crafts of the rhymers' trade
are none less than those of the dancer or the the artist
for when all three of these combine, they can form a truly
Beautiful thing, full of life, and harmony
The dancer, whose graceful, gliding motions flow
so seemingly easily from the enigmatic center of her mind
as she dances, moving as if in silent,
slow motion, with elegant, skilled beauty
adding to the trio the motion and grace
for the artists brush strokes
as she designs her stunning creations
The artist, who expresses herself on the canvas
attempting to show the beauty as well as
the strangeness of the world around her
put into shapes and colors the universe
describing what she sees
In the brilliant reds and solemn blues that are her trades
marks of achievement
Both of these together, giving the poet
The inspiration to write of
the beauty of motion with grace and elegance
and of the colors that are part of all things
and the poet crafts the words, setting them
to show the world around, designing, building
Becoming the architect of thought
Forging a world of life from a few simple things
Letting the mind roam to another place
far from reality;
Letting the intellect run from logic
And bury itself in the strange land of imagination
leading it to believe that the impossible can happen
That is why, each in their own way, being a master,
or an apprentice bard, dancer, or artists
is no small, menial, thing
To be mocked and ridiculed by those
Who only understand logic
and cannot fathom the illogical processes of emotion,
the fluid grace of life and love
of which the poet, dancer, and artist
are the most fit to explore
