Blank Canvas....

That's what my mind feels like this morning...a blank canvas!!! It's crazy how I can have so many ideas floating through my head, but when I sit down in front of the computer.....they suddenly disappear! Is it "writers block" or some form of anxiety? Hmmm, I wonder...either way I figure if I just dig in and ramble for a few lines, something will begin to form. And actually that does remind me, I was thinking about my English class and the paper I need to write. I like to write. I like it almost as much as I like design and illustration, but for some reason I have a really difficult time writing even the smallest (3-4 page papers) for this class. Like I said, blank canvas. I did write a poem in class a few weeks ago. I'll share it with you-here it is:

Ode to Robert Frost

I have read the words
Unwrapped each one
Like a treasured gift
Whispered through the years
My heart and head and soul
received it's touch
As if I had time traveled
That is what words can do
He knew this
Long before me
And others have known too
Some needed much ink
and paper going out like ribbons
But not he
His may be on a torn corner
or the book of a match
Just right for tucking
into a secret place
Maybe under the ballerina
where the pink felt
is still like new


Well, there is my contribution to the world of poetry! Or maybe not....I WOULD love to do a children's book with illustrations and poetry (like a Shel Silverstein thing) So who knows?
It's possible that I'm just getting started! I am, after all, a late bloomer!
Have a happy day.
