<≪≪ In A Painting And Poem Poem by Abdul Wahab

in a poem
is it the idea or the use of language
more important
a very difficult proposition
to tell or choose
like
which one is first
egg or hen
but the clever boy says
both
the master smiles and asks
why then all the linguists are not poets

in a painting
is it the theme or the drawing
more important
it is again
like
drawing a circle without boundary
but the clever boy says
both
the master smiles and says
why not then all thinkers are an artist.
