How hard it was for him to see far into the distance

Wonder (an acrostic poem)

Every moment of every day he was constantly drawing

Realizing eventually that making a living at creating art was not in the cards

Yet stealing it….

Poet (an acrostic poem)

People looking for the facts

Obviously don’t want to interpret

Even if the truth can be found

Through emotional works of art
