White Canvas I see white canvas in my mind So blank and white it makes me blind And I prepare my brush and paint In an anguish of constraint How rash the stroke of imperfection Upon the white of pure perfection What madness do I seek to birth Impose upon the sweet of earth. What makes my goal the sift of sand To rise above the place I stand It only breaks it down to parts To the beginnings and its starts So why should I take brush in hand And think I do a thing of grand I’d soil the perfect of the clue Where minds can place their inner view. And paint themselves their strokes of thought To bring they’re inner most to court In truth it is a valid point A blank of white for there anoint. It is a statement pure in light And I think I’ll sign it in white. |

So why should I take brush in hand And think I do a thing of grand Because you do a "thing of grand" every time you gift us with your words, sweet Seymour. Thank you for them, too, my friend.  Hugs this morning   Ethel |

Loved this much. Yes the white canvas IS perfection .... because it already holds your beauty, but your words bring it to the light, so that you can share it ..... for us to enjoy. Love, Margherita |

How rash the stroke of imperfection Upon the white of pure perfection What madness do I seek to birth Impose upon the sweet of earth. ============================= So why should I take brush in hand And think I do a thing of grand I’d soil the perfect of the clue Where minds can place their inner view. And paint themselves their strokes of thought To bring they’re inner most to court In truth it is a valid point A blank of white for there anoint. It is a statement pure in light And I think I’ll sign it in white. ======================================= Hmmmm... when I read between the lines of this... it makes me think Randy just dont want to paint today.  but as long as me Sy-guy writes...we see the light. How rash the stroke of imperfection Upon the white of pure perfection how cool can one couplet be. *ww*  All I can feel is this distance between you and me. |

Lovely. You are a painter of words. Filled with shades of the sun, capturing shades of mauve and deep purples of the sunset. Your canvas of white is filled with the brilliant colors of the rainbow. Good job Bonnie j aka Bon-Bon |

Good morning, Mr. T.! Blessed be the white canvass that has a stroke of thought from your illustrious brush upon its white, blank face! EA |

Elizabeth, A rose, is a rose, is a rose, as a canvas, is a canvas, is a canvas. Chris, Could you make that lunch instead of breakfast. LOL Hugs Margherita Thank you and love back. Sunshine, The ultimate reply, thank you sweet. JM, A little tongue in cheek, but your answers always make me weak. WWRS Bonnie, True when you break down the white light you have the colors of the rainbow. Earth Angel Your too cute for cute, Hugs Wind You blew me away with the sweet. |

"It is a statement pure in light And I think I’ll sign it in white." Sometimes...less is more. Loved the thoughts this brought to mind Sy.  [This message has been edited by Duncan (06-29-2003 04:12 PM).] |
