I'm with Robert on this, William -- your poem is like a painting, itself. Throw away the paints and continue writing your wonderful poetry which you do so well, my friend.
Love,
CJ

you paint a colorful poem with your words ... forget the paint tubes ...

Beautiful flow in this ones canvas which is no longer blank William!!!!!

peace and always His Light,
Joselyn

A fine poem that paints what you hoped to put on canvas. Better luck next time you dream the tubes will be full;-)ET

Have to phone Santa to get you those color thingies William...lol!!

I must admit...it has been a while since I touched a paint brush myself!!

Love Tinka

Sometimes the best laid plans are duped by coincidence, William. Just think how much fun it will be to go out on that "field trip" to the art store to buy new paints.
Take care,
Sherry

Broke? The canvas won't be blank when you buy a new set of colors. Victor

WHY? You need to hit the crafts store, yet your words are picture enough..

Our creativity is in our minds firsy. The tools to make them flow may be dry but that won't stop the visual from being born. This is lovely.

I seem to be having a flat and dry spell myself...but you William have penned another interesting twist on this theme...excellent
love and peace, Carole

That which is blank today, can be a masterpiece tomorrow...e

My paint tubes get flat also
I seem to always scratch my
pencil on paper though...
A keeper of a write William..

William,
You might try looking again, for there seems to be a bit more color on the pallette than you once thought!
I had not problem seeing it.
Grand write!

Lisa

Well done,William,I think we all have a mental block now and then,Comparing painting to writing was a good idea.
Enjoyed this write,we all can relate.

Michael

Hang in there William...
enjoyed this write, I love to write and have on occasion experienced "the blank page" and I also love to sketch and have experienced the "the blank canvas" but I've been told that I never run out of things to say...one would think that I would never have a bland page or canvas...or so my husband says.
Enjoyed this one, cleverly written.
Blessings,
Joyce Bowling

To my surprise, the paint tubes
Were squeezed flat and dry

I think many artists have experienced that, and I hope all those bright colorful hues return tomorrow!

Why?....a very reoccuring question...enjoyed it.
