The Stages of the Canvas

** Read Author's Note!

I started out with nothingness,

A blank canvas with all the paint to gain.

From infant to child I grew,

And so did the amount of things I knew,

And so the color came.

                  

 

Sometimes I think the canvas is full-

That my knowledge is too vast to tame.

But deep down I realize as I get older,

The colors, oh, they’ll get bolder.

I’ve still got so much paint to gain.

Author's Note

My teacher assigned us a simple, short poem to write for homework and the assignment was, to "write a 7-10 line poem, detailing your own life journey." Tell me what you think!

a Philosophical poem of Growth Maturity and development one a blank canvas can truly paint the stars on. Masterpiece.

I'm glad you like it, because my teacher sure didn't! lol

[Jordan's Back]

Your teacher is full of sh*t This is wonderful!

[devon]

Hahaha! Thank you. She doesn't ever really like much of what I write, except for a business letter I wrote on abortion a couple of weeks ago. She actually wrote on the paper, "LOVE your writing on this one!" I felt pretty proud, lol.

[Jordan's Back]

Well maybe somebody needs to give her the business :P

[devon]

Give her the business? lol

[Jordan's Back]

I thought you would like that :P

[devon]

Hahaha! She's just very opinionated, I think, and she likes certain things better than others, I'm guessing. I don't think she's one for my works, because I write too much. I use too much detail, and make things that should be simple, more drawn out and complex.

LOL Get her a Dr Seuss book for christmas

[devon]

I'm actually getting the full collection of Dr. Seuss books for Christmas. :) Lol, and a heap load of other books. I kind of have a bad habit of wanting to collect copies of every book I've ever read.
