This work has reached the exceptional level

The personification and deep spirituality in this piece is beautifully expressed. Just as the artist yearns for inspiration, so too does the canvas...

Thank you for sharing.

Oh... I do know the feeling... This poem seems to say a lot more than fifteen words worth! I think the last line is the best for me. Good luck with the contest.

Hi Sue,

This is very clever, and the content warrants a five. Now for my reasoning on awarding a four. What I'm about to say might come across as splitting hairs. Poetic license aside, I might have written it this way:

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

Like I said, the content is great. I just happened to notice that grammatical glitch.

Ray

I'm sure everyone got the meaning, but technically you have written it as though the artist is waiting to be brushed.

It made me smile. Excellent and a humorous write, I am amazed how much you've put in these few lines. Reminded me of a friend of mine, I once saw an empty frame hanging on her wall. When I asked her about it, she said she still waited for someone worthy to fit in there (smile). I never heard of a Naani form, but it is certainly ready for the magic strokes of Picasso, you've done all the groundwork - big smile.

Good luck in the contest, it was delightful.

This is a poem that is somewhat deep yet easy to understand. It's nice to consider the thoughts of an empty canvass as a subject... Great job.

LOVE THIS!
So well conceived, simply yet poetically worded, especially the closing two lines...and nice presentation with apt artwork. Would not be surprised if it wins, as all FS-ers can relate.

:D

I find no nits.
Good luck

Warm Regards,
rama devi

This is such a creative verse. Personifying an artist's canvas! I understand the feeling well: Sometimes the stark, white screen on my laptop screams at me; the only bit of color, that blinking cursor. Excellent entry for the Naani contest. Best wishes. Sue

Man wish I'd thought of this one, LOL Love it seeing as how I'm an artist and use these tools of the trade. Good poem you've penned. Good luck as well.

    Sunlit, I've been on this fanstory writing poetry that I'm petrified to get the paints out (been about 2 weeks now). Yikes! Why do we torture outselves like this?!!! Do you post your work on fanart? Thanks so much for your awesome review! With regards, Sue

    No I've been thinking of doing that instead of the poetry thing but I like both. l haven't painted in a long while since my heart attack here is a slide of much of my paintings...enjoy.

    It's 2:30 a.m. and am just about to fall asleep. But visited your slides. What a range!!! You should be SO proud (which I'm sure you are)!! Going to have another look at them tomorrow, because it is such a large body of work.

    Thank you for that link. Beautiful!!!
