Matching the Master

Constantly questioning,
I let the words flow,
sometimes quite
coherent, other times,
not...

Emotions and moods,
form my pallet, my
words color the
picture...
my strokes vary...

as does the critique

striving for a
perfect "Picasso",
I instead achieve,
something
sophomoric...

Author notes

I so don't know..

    Excellent title - It immediately caught my eye.
    I find the first stanza flawless, and enjoy how it
    ends with a simple "not..."
    "..." Indicated something is left to be said, or something
    has been omitted. To indicate a longer pause, I believe,
    one should use "--"
    I think the second stanza could use revision:
    The comma after 'moods' should be removed;
    I also think "my strokes vary" should be moved to the
    middle, because "as does the critique" doesn't really
    do anything for the poem, in my opinion.
    Again, the third is as well as the first. I enjoyed
    this poem, and often feel this way when writing.
    Thank you for entering.

    It is indeed disappointing when the piece, poetry or visual art, doesn't come up to the original vision. Believe me, I've been there.

    But then, you have had the enjoyment of creating it. Art should be fun too, play.
