The Poet (Anapest ex.)

Poem Body

I can paint with no brush, nor with colours I'd draw
when the night has to coat and the dark has to fall;
I've my art, I can sing and alive I would show
what the words have to bring, and the magic they call.

To my ear that's pretty bang on.
You might have added an extra syllable with 'the power of the words '
Maybe 'with the power of words' would fit. Parsed like this. 'with the POW/er of WORDS'
Similarly you added 'can still call' which puts another syllable in with 'still'.
I'm sure Wesley will let us know. Jx

I was doing some edits while you comenting. What do you think of the last line. I wasn't sure about "power" either though it sounded ok to my ear despite the extra syllable.

I think it's very good. Perfect anapest.
I might put 'and their tools have to call' on the last line. Just using and instead of what.
But that's my personal preference, so please feel free to ignore. Jx

again dear jane for the uthoughts. Much appreciated

just drop "would" from the last line. This evens out the flow while having no great effect on meaning. Alternatively, drop "and" from the last line, again having little effect on meaning.

You remind me of a dream like soul passionate for the creative arts. The part of me that wants to challenge the system has taken a back seat to my latest piece. It evokes a sentiment of love torn from the very fabric of our existence. I hope we could become good friends cause you are a remarkable talent your self. Never relent in giving your all to pursue your dreams in expression of creative artistic freedom.
