I am no painter.
I do not
make magic with oils and brushes.
In the face of this blank canvas
I
feel
overwhelmed, over-awed,
afraid
to touch brush to colors
brilliant
luscious
glistening
they
call to me– It
is easier to ignore their voices
I am comfortable with grey

This final version of the poem and the photo were my submissions for the G+ group Friday Art Critique. Submission deadline is Thursday, 9pm CST every week and I invite all of you to submit your work to this group too. It’s one of my favorite creative activities to participate in each week and I think you’ll really enjoy it too! :)
