making sure the canvas is perfect for his Masterpiece
he runs his hand smoothly over the surface
looking for any slight imperfections before he starts his work
he knows the importance of making sure his creation will be perfect
once he is happy with his canvas he places the paper down
with a mighty stroke of the brush the canvas is awakened
taking on structure and form, no longer blank
the colors all blend and the canvas begins to evolve
standing aside, he surveys the canvas and smiles,
knowing his life work has just started

Darn. I forgot again!

Isn't it great to know that the canvas of one's life can be worked and re-worked as long as their is breath in ones body. There is always hope. There is always something better to look for and strive for. I feel your thoughts here and agree completely.

The thoughts that flow here really give me cause to thunk and ponder. I see a deeper meaning and reading between the lines one can tell you put a lot of thoughts and work into this. Nice work Ms 1der.

I like your painter's take on this and "the canvas is awakened" and as it evolves knows the work's just started. Thank you for your entry in this contest. Marlene

This is a very good take on the given prompt and conveyed some hidden message. The only problem is the repititive use of the, his and he that hinders to the smooth flow of the poem. I am not sure if you did this on purpose, making this poem narrative in a way. Goodluck.

If ever I catch my canvas perhaps I could add a stroke or two to the masterpiece it already is in my mind. This probably was no where near the message you intended to send but at the moment it's where my mind happens to be. Best of luck in the challenge.
Sincerely,

Very Nicely Done
If an artist can paint a masterpiece with his brush
you have mastered painting a picture of the artist with your words.Nicely done. "A mighty stroke of his brush" or could it really be something else...-

Love the image! LOL
I adore how you made use of the metaphor in this work dear sister/friend! There is always great passion in creation. You have created a "masterpiece" in sharing with us the evolution of such. Impressionable work here! The blended colors of love and life are evident in your poetry. Yes...You Know!
I wish you well in the challenge.
Always & Forever ♥

we have to take some pride in the things we create, the ability we have, on the tip of the tongue's flick we can dip into language, with words, with pictures, with passion. a good poem to accompany a good picture.

this poem painted an awesome picture for me. the last line was a surprise; and I thought it was very powerful way to end. We all are works in progress and most of my work for Him is never completed either.

Oh, this is fabulous, as always. Each word works together with the others to form such a beautiful picture. The imagery is perfect. Patricia

you truly
paint vivid 'mind pictures'. This poem bings so many images with it - of someone who does not enjoy making mistakes to someone who takes minute care to assure only a master piece. It also touches the spiritual in that God never makes a mistake when he creates, and enjoys 'standing back' to view his beginnings within us. There is a lesson within this poem - also - we have control of the foundation on which we will build our master piece. You simplify profound messages in poems such as these - most probably more than you think. Yes, this is a wonderful take on the prompt. Frans
