Canvas of the Heart A clean white sheet of paper is a canvas of the heart Enticing mystic pen of words to sketch poetic art To leave life’s silhouette inscribed upon a screen of light Soft footprints of intrigue across a snowy field of white Just as a brook meanders through a crisp December snow Defining paths through powered crest as waters wind and flow So does enchanting ink through depths of inspiration wend Fine silky strings of black on white fed by a poet’s pen The first touch of the ink to page is like a child’s birth The genesis of thought appears in phrase upon the earth Then words beget a written verse, which turns intrinsically To lyrics of the songs of life in lovely poetry How beautiful the story told in verse of rhythmic rhyme As words unlock the mysteries inside a poet’s mind When all the words have been engraved, a poet takes delight In picking up another empty page of snowy white Elizabeth Santos |

Liz--I don't think that white page has ever intimidated you with its emptyness...your words always flow with constant know. |

LizzieLove~ This is absolutely stunning~ 'Just as a brook meanders through a crisp December snow Defining paths through powered crest as waters wind and flow So does enchanting ink through depths of inspiration wend Fine silky strings of black on white fed by a poet’s pen' What lovely magical verse from your well of thought~ *Hugs*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

The first touch of the ink to page is like a child’s birth The genesis of thought appears in phrase upon the earth Then words beget a written verse, which turns intrinsically To lyrics of the songs of life in lovely poetry How beautiful the story told in verse of rhythmic rhyme As words unlock the mysteries inside a poet’s mind When all the words have been engraved, a poet takes delight In picking up another empty page of snowy white =============================== Poetry about poets writing poetry are my most favorite rhymes to read... what I woudnt give for a muse like yours..... this is a very very special poem... and keeper  I can be your hero baby ... I will kiss away the pain |

Elizabeth sometimes it is very satisfying...and sometimes frustrating...I can remember many times after I wrote a poem thinking "I love this poem"...even if others do not see the heart of the poem I do...James |

 (big hugggsssssss) Soooooo beautiful! (smiles) The first breath of a child and his or her innocence is the first line of a life's canvas, and as ones heart grows, so does the description of his or her loving heart! (sigh) I love it!!! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

~As words unlock the mysteries inside a poets mind~ Your rhythm and flow were exquisite. A poets words can paint the prettiest pictures, and you've done just that and more. |

And no-one paints words with their pen any better than you do. I have said it many times and I will say it many many more I am sure. Your verses and creative talents have many times given me the kick I needed to explore the depths of imagery mixed with emotion. This piece from you spells that out quite wonderfully and as always your rhyme is splendid beyond compare. Excellent flow as well and of course the subject is a given to be a winner. Very much enjoyed. |
