Artist On The Go! Poem by Denis Martindale

Artist On The Go!



The artist travelled back and forth
As if upon a quest,
He went down South, he went up North
And sometimes East and West...
His trusty passport close-at-hand,
Binoculars as well
And then to stand, survey the land,
What stories each could tell...

The creatures kept an open mind,
As long as they felt safe,
While he was glad that he could find
The courage to be brave...
For there were wolves and eagles, too,
Yes, lions, tigers, bears...
'Oh, my! ' he gasped with these in view,
That's why he said his prayers!

His camera clicked till sketching time,
Then painting must begin,
Till finally it looked sublime,
Then he left with a grin...
At home, the masterpiece was done,
At home, while music played...
It was hard work, yet, oh, what fun
The day that he got PAID!
