VERBAL TAG (An Original Poem)
I stumbled upon a fellow
as he struggled with his bag,
he seemed an easy target
for a game of verbal tag

He was ordinary, plain,
I knew I wouldn’t be in danger
as I calmly walked up to him and asked, 	
“Allow me to paint you a picture, stranger?”

“But you have no paint,” he said,
“Please, don’t be absurd!”
“Excuse me my dear fellow,
I paint in ordinary words.”

![](http://i.giphy.com/YqK4o9txKgn6M.gif)

He replied, “Sir, you have no brushes,
not a canvas here to find.”
“My pen’s the only brush I need,
the canvas is your mind.”

The man, looking a bit perplexed, 
reached up to scratch his head
and took me by surprise 
with these fourteen words he said, 

“Allow me to scribe a poem for you
of crashing waves and soaring birds.”
“Sir, but where is this pen you’ll use
to scribe your page of words?”

A brush came from his pocket,
a canvas from his bag
it seemed an artist beat me
in this round of verbal tag

![](http://i.giphy.com/aaSHTYX9VmwVO.gif)

Feeling squarely beaten
it seemed to me absurd
that an artist out-foxed a poet
at his game of wit and words.

Oh the cunningness of the creative mind. We race one another crafting line for line. Whether lines of words or colored lines of brush.  A single line of lyrics, or bodies lined to touch. We dance this life in artistic form. Always just outside the mundane of norm. We, who are creative, do enjoy a challenge. Multitalented we are, yet focus one skill as we balance. 
Nice poem :)
