Overthinking. It's a writer's curse! We can so easily fall out of favor with the muse when we convolute our meaning to confuse! Skilled rhyme... Even for a Spenserian sonnet "which this is not." (That made me smile!

Yes, staying away from the declaration of any sonnet is, for this writer, a dose of good elixer ...

Hah! I'm picking up what you're putting down!

Comment from Janice Canerdy
Those who don't consider poets as "artists" but do see painters, woodcarvers, and sculptors as artists just don't know how much of ourselves we devote to our craft! Your skillfully written, creatively worded poem give us poets the respect we deserve! :-)

Thanks for popping by into my poem to nowhere! I have just found you on FS and am delighted with your three posts which I will bookmark, and read in-depth!
Comment from Frank Malley
I try to disregard the acknowledgements a piece of writing has won when reading it anew. I am fond of the Shakespearean sonnet, and this author has written one that generally fulfills the demands of the form. (He takes some liberties with the meter; I don't fault him for this, as it is his poem and its content is more important than its form.) Within that context, the poet seeks to illuminate the medium of the poet by mentioning the media of artists in painting and sculpture, and the challenge these artists face in unlocking the image within the stone or in the potential of canvas and color. The third quatrain enjoins the writer to select carefully the words he uses: these are his medium. As I said, I don't criticize stepping outside the boundaries of form. However, there are places where the syntax of the line is compromised to find a rhyme or a sonic coherence, and for these small faults my score is a five.

Wise words weclomed~
Comment from Wendy G
The poem describes well the art of any creativity activity, and particularly the skill of knowing when to stop. Like with a painting, there is a point where no more should be added. Your point about overthinking is a good one. Well written.

I apprecaite your review.
Comment from Paul McFarland
I think I grab most of this. After reading the first line, I want to change "to keep" in the second line to "you kept". Am I reading this wrong? You have done a good job comparing the various artists to the writer.

A delightful poem for (fellow poets). Good advise as we patiently ponder those encouraging last lines. Resume writing and don't overthink it.
Well done.
