Empty canvas stares
Blankly back at artist
Wanting to be brushed
By strokes of genius

What a master piece, my dear! It gives a specific image of an artist trying to decide what strokes he should add to his work, while the canvas (or paper) is urging him mutually. Bravo, my dear! Keep on writing. Enjoyed it very much, Word Weaver.

That was wonderful! I often feel this way when I look at my writing journals with a blank mind. They beg for me to write and create.

another excellent piece of work. I don't know how you do it. I have read several of your poems now and each one is so well written with so few words that speak volumes

A good use of the contest's rules. The word choice is nice, with some that offer a nice amount of imagery. It's a decent piece that doesn't let contest rules interfere with its message.

Nice work.

Wanting to be brushed
By strokes of genius ...

WOW that is SO VERY GOOD! The metaphor is perfect,
even using cliche'd lines but in a different way.

Love it. I might be able to do THIS, even. I rarely write formed poetry or color within the lines. hehe

You're so talented. Thanks for sharing this one.
I have one of those canvases right now, staring at me!

Considering the format you chose here, the brevity, I think you did well with this. I saw no errors with the piece, and I like the turn you made in the poem. Good stuff, over all.

Hello Sixteezkid
good one you put a smile on my face-
the same thing goes for all writers
(blank page and blank mind).
Excellent entry for the contest.

This was very good. It read very smooth, almost like a sentence rather than a poem. You used 15 words, and formed a picture for the reader. Not only a picture of now, but also a picture of what be. Great job.

Oh the bond of the canvas with the artist. Your poem expressed the perfect image with so few words. I enjoyed it very much. Good luck in the contest. Judy
