Unpainted Canvas
By: Prince Trystan
A blank page
Crying to be filled
With words and picture
Words create pictures
In and of themselves
In the slideshow of the mind's eye
Starting with a picture
In the writer's mind
Then translated to words
Inscribed on paper
For the world to see
And hopefully translated
Back to the original image
Enjoyed by the writer
Or one, at least, similar
This is the art
Of literary creation
The ability to shock the imagination
Into creating
What the writer
Wants it to see
No detail left
Undescribed, the image
Must be complete
And be as close
As possible
To the writer's original intent
