Artistic License

I have seen one or two 

before ~

blank white canvases

with one thin 

red, blue, or yellow 

brush stroke

across or diagonally


and I wonder ~

did the artist look at

that white blank canvas

~ pace and pace ~

brush poised, 

pick up a palette of paint

 ~ suddenly inspired to

gently stroke in that line


and there it is

a finished, priceless canvas.


Much like this 

blank screen

covered with only 

the thinnest attempt 

at open verse.


“Artistic license sneered through the thin fabric.”

~ Ingmar Bergman
