Written: January 05, 2023 Topic 1/ The art was most masterful on the dark canvas. _________________________________________ A dimly lit canvas displays the best artwork, A creature beyond earthly limits, Harmony of shadows and strands A superb creation that enthralled all.   Artists built lovely quilts with every line Portraying the soul's deepest design, Shades and light dance, pristine and refine A mosaic of hues may sweep and entwine. A vivid palette that whispered mysteries, Brushstrokes convey stories and sighs The artist's hands were graceful Creating an undefined world, Talent thrived on the black canvas. Where bright dreams came alive Imaginations and phobias swirled Truth faded into emptiness, It exposed the human inner abyss Inner brightness and darkness, We felt our greatest fears and desires, Exploring human existence beyond fire.

Your poem is a beautiful homage to the artistry that unfolds on the canvas of life, particularly in the dimly lit spaces where shadows and strands harmonize to create a captivating spectacle. The imagery of the artist building 'lovely quilts with every line' is evocative, depicting the intricate layers of the soul's design. The vivid palette that 'whispered mysteries' and the graceful brushstrokes that convey 'stories and sighs' paint a vivid picture of the profound impact of artistic creation.

I can deeply feel the emotions you've conveyed here, dear Sotto! Every stanza is so enriched with philosophical thoughts and in a very striking way as well.. Compels me to think beyond as you've so impeccably conveyed that even in dim colours the art shimmers with its own vivid colours, as we humans experience our fears and desires.. Many lined here intrigued my heart especially "A vivid palette that whispered mysteries", "Exploring human existence beyond fire" This line is brilliant, I love it!

dearest Sotto--your "Words on Canvas" (as I call this poem) were creative and inspiring. This poem was rich in colorful, artistic details; your imagery was like brushstrokes that delighted me as I read each line. I liked "Where bright dreams came alive Imaginations and phobias swirled Truth faded into emptiness..." I love the introspection your poem evoked. Have to fave for sure. Have a splendid Saturday, your poetess friend in Texas, Sara

What a brilliant poem this is for this theme. Your wordplay truly is fitting for the prompt, and flows in such eloquence in an artistic manner conveying such deep emotions and thoughts in such a creative manner , I especially loved “ - mosaic of hues” “ brushstrokes conveys sighs and stories” “ truth faded into emptiness” so deeply moving and stunning how you’ve woven words. “ We felt our greatest fears and desires, Exploring human existence beyond fire.” Excellent ending really!BOL.

Moving piece, Sotto: The colors do look vivid against the dark black. “Where bright dreams came alive.” I felt the vibrancy of your words. SuZ
