I don't know if it's genius, but I often stare at a blank computer screen. Hmmmmm. Maybe I'm on to something. I see this a poem of hope. Good Job, 60's.

    Ha!!! It IS the genius wanting to come out!!! So glad you liked the poem! Now I've got to go back and look at that "blankety-blank" blank canvas! Sue

Simple but with a great message about creativity and the art that one can make.

"Wanting to be brushed
By strokes of genius"

Great lines and very motivational.

nice Naani poem here... kinda looks like your talking directly at me to be honest... and that looks like my canvas lately... lol ( it actually isn't all that funny, but can't help but laugh cause it is so pathetic, my muse just up and left me for another writer I guess... lol) anyway, all jokes aside... wonderful write here, best of luck in the contest

Great job on capturing on the most difficult things of an artist: what to put on that blank canvas. Personally as an artist, i found the poetic and artisitc quality which appealed to me. Loved reading it, best wishes.

Stark and beautiful at the same time. I love the feel of this, pregnant with so much potential. Before the beginning of all things. Just a couple of suggestions. I think it could do with a couple of stronger verbs in the middle two lines. Something like 'Silently' in place of 'Blankly and perhaps 'Longing' or 'Yearning' or something like that in place of 'Wanting'. Just suggestions, nothing more.

Really enjoyed this most original piece of work.

Warmest regards,

Ian

This is funny but I'm sure many of us can relate. Your picture along with your poem go nicely together and I loved the author notes because I didn't know what a Naani was

Naani is a new one on me, Sixteezkid, but any composer of words or music can't help but know exactly what you're talking about. Great! Love, daver

Very nice. I really like this poem--you used the idea of that achingly white canvas, how the artist herself desires to paint so desperately that she can transfer her own desires onto a personified canvas. You also showed potential, using a common idiom "stroke of genius" in a new and creative way. Very well done.
