8669 Without Words
[by S. David] [art by Andre van der Kerkhoff]

Ah but
There are
He studiously studies
The printed book
He is not
After all
A bard
A skald
Or any of those
Who
Over centuries
And still
Had to learn
Mouth to ear
Memorize
Histories
Chants and
Laws
With the printed
Word much
Was lost
Much more
Retained for
Researching
But
Fewer
To look
And learn
Without
Words

30§ [Orig 12/21/10]http://www.andrevanderkerkhoff.com/?go=artworks/display_list_galleries&login=avdkart
