It's attitude was neutral
Neither here, nor there
Just a bare canvas
That stands without care
A vast space vibrating
It waits without rush
Filled with anticipation
For the stroke of a brush
Allowing anything
The artist desires
Till the picture appears
For all to admire
What have Nuts got to do with it by the way Don??
Thanks Don, well you did ask me what my voice was like ? that's just one of my reading aloud voices lol . Good job i dont have your number, you might not be able to wake up or Thalia! Nice to put a voice to a face sometimes though, so there you go.
Ah Thanks for this nice artistically themed poem Nigel, I like the pencil talking to the paint brush!
Thankyou Do.Ro.Thy for your kind words, the music you heard was The kiboe which is a Japanese harplike instrument.
Very clever Nigel......
An offer you can't refuse
Pencil says
to brush
follow my lines
Colours splash
images appear
I likes respond
Before long
someone offers
price of fame
Ah yes Ruth you were so right
Your voice was all you said
Calming, sorta neutral
Like story just 'fore bed
Yawn.....
I listened 'puter-seated
Eyelids semishut
Lulled into oblivion
(And yes I do like nuts)
I can just imagine
Listeners (radio Sunday)
Hanging on your every word
(But no Ruth, don't play croquet)
Wake up Thalia!......you've sent her off to sleep ?

Ruth
Gimme a break
I gotta rhyme
Semishut/nuts
Works real fine.....
So that's just ONE
Of your reading-aloud voices?
I'd now like to hear
A variety of choices
?
