They asked me, "Are you a writer or an artist?" What they don't seem to understand Is that writers are artists, too. However, writers do not paint pictures with paint; Writers paint pictures with words. Unlike the artists that take photographs with cameras, Writers take mental snapshots of scenery And later transform them into beautiful sentences That can be read with great ease. So to answer their question, I replied with: "I am an artist-- But an artist that has the gift Of changing the life of someone Using powerful sentences That consist of paltry words."
