Like an empty canvas is my new day
with million colours on wide palette,
all still new and unused in any way.
Where I will start with my new line?
Maybe from the left, down corner...
Could a simple, plain draft be fine?
What shape I will use with my brush?
Strong or gentle, fairy tale, wings...
May I go slow or need to be in rush?
What to use - fine pencil or my nails?
To leave just all forms in the mist
or to draw them with sharp details?
May I pour over a colour of my accent,
a drop from my heart, red and strong?
Maybe some soft and refreshing scent?
How to make it perfect with no mistake,
to stay alone on the wide shore of sand
or to dive deep into the new day lake?

I really like the form you have used here . . . and the rhyming is perfect! The questions are especially effective and all up I think you have used the quote amazingly well.
Thankyou for your entry and good luck

either your poetry has suddenly gone into a wild stampede, or maybe i started reading it more carefully these days, there is a subliminal quality of soft beauty to it which (once i started paying attention, lol) is exceptional

Probably the truth is somwhere... hm, you said wild? Let me think about. Maybe I have a good muse by my side?
Thanks for reading it ... more carefully lol...

Outstanding
There was so much I liked in this poem, the poetry reflecting the artist with a paint box. The imagery was very pretty, I especially liked:
What shape I will use with my brush?
Strong or gentle, fairy tale, wings...
I also liked:
May I pour over a colour of my accent,
a drop from my heart, red and strong?
That line is very strong. This poem is inspirational. I am impressed.

Starting my day
So nice to start my day with you Sonja. Like a breath of fresh air I read your poems and smile. Your words so innocently placed that bring a joy to my older heart.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a better New Year. May your son find the work he seeks.
Love to you,
Jim

Thank you Jim for so nice words and good wishes. I am glad that my verses could bring some refreshments to your heart and new day. I hope that the your most important wish soon will come true.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too.

This is a blilliant stanza. A great metaphor for a new day, to be tackled with sharp clarity and purpose, or simply accepted with all it has to offer.

Thank you El Pescador (nice name)for comment and applause. This quote just triggered my muse to paint new form on my poetic canvas. I am glad you like it.
