Does a poem need a picture?

Does a poem need a picture?

Does a poem need a picture
a tapestry of thread
layers of a fabric
in your stead

for what came before it โ€“
the tapestry of mind
interpret as itโ€™s seen
or as itโ€™s read

like a quilt โ€“ a covering
a line of stitching โ€“ all in sinc
does the poet rely on more
than merely what the pen may bring

the web of inspiration โ€“
haiku, elegy or rhyme
does the poem need a picture โ€“

Art โ€“
The embroidery of time
