Art and Poetry
TO HOMER C. DAVENPORT
WESS he says, and sort o' grins,
" Art and Poetry is twins!
" Yit, if I'd my pick, I'd shake
Poetry, and no mistake!
" Pictures, allus 'peared to me ,
Clean laid over Poetry!
" Let me draw , and then, i jings,
I'll not keer a straw who sings.
" 'F I could draw as you have drew,
Like to jes' swap pens with you!
" Picture-drawin' 's my pet vision
Of Life-work in Lands Elysian.
" Pictures is first language we
Find hacked out in History.
" Most delight we ever took
Was in our first Picture-book.
" 'Thout the funny picture-makers,
They'd be lots more undertakers!
" Still, as I say, Rhymes and Art
'Smighty hard to tell apart.
" Songs and pictures go together
Same as birds and summer weather. "
So Wess says, and sort o' grins,
" Art and Poetry is twins. "
