O' if I were a painter
with a masters touch
could brush
an evening sky
or a writer
with a writers wit
in script
the reason why
a poet
in a po'
the shadows left behind
a fiddler
with a fiddlers bow
bow a fiddlers song
but I
being none of them
so pretend
with only an out stretched hand
to hold
a setting sun

Deft
A deft piece of rhyming. It also gives one something to think about. Like all yuor poems, it has quality and is worth perusal and thought/ -
An excellent litany that disproves itself. There is something poetic about the protestaion that lifts it out of the ordinary. Well Done

ahhh you're right, I was thinking "posy"..thank you.
and your right about trying to use poesy. Its just that I didn't want the extra sillable but I will keep these things on my mind for the future. Thanks again -
The third definition seems to fit best
POESY
1. Poetical works; poetry.
2. The art or practice of composing poems.
3. The inspiration involved in composing poetry.

I liked the theme of this piece and the opening verses worked well. For poet I am dubious about using po' with it's lavatorial connotations. I might have chosen poesy or pen perhaps.
However it is a good piece even if the title is ambiguous.
Thanks for sharing it
