white canvas

Last night I prepared a canvas for painting.

I stood and looked at easel and the square of white canvas. I wanted to paint on it, to create something, to mark the pure white.

Poetry usually inspires me, so I pulled out my folder, I try to read but my eyes kept being drawn to that square of white.

The blank page was taunting me, maybe if I just put something, anything on it. So I squeeze some paint out onto the old plate that I use as a palette, a purple almost the colour of pansies.

Pansies, for remembrance. I remember.

The white canvas is still taunting me.
