Beyond Compare Poem by Laurence Read

To paint a picture an artist needs
Canvas, brushes, light and subject
He then can express himself, as he sees
The object of his intended deeds.

A sculptor needs stone and tools
To make an image of his work
And after time it takes it shape
To complete it by his rules.

To tell a tale, a teller needs a line
From which to embark upon his yarn
Tall tale or maybe less
But to end it well is quite fine.

To do of these in your undertake
I have all the requisite items
But paint would not your picture paint
Nor stone a fitting image make.

No story, or tale or feted story there
Would make a true depiction
Because in you there is no guide
Quite simply....you are beyond compare.
