Poetry / Puppet

The first four lines sound nice enough alone – why add more?

Suggestions: Punctuate correctly, small letter unless it is a brand new thought/sentence.

L1 remove “A”

L2 remove “in”

Get rid of double space between all lines except new verse.

L5 begins a new verse.

L7 “its artist real feelings.”

Well without any specific instructions, I’ll go for a broader review.  The poem is uneven at 4 lines + 3 lines for two stanzas pushed into one larger one.  If we look at the piece as two separate stanzas, the second half is heavy syllable wise, with the final two lines being 6 syllables whereas every other line is either 3 or 4.  I’m not saying the poem doesn’t work, I completely gathered a sense of what you were trying to convey with this piece, I think the presentation could use a bit of polish, however.

As for meaning and actual content, a blank slate is a blank slate until someone turns it into something else.  Meaning a blank slate (canvas) is everything and nothing, all at once, a zen-like combination of what is and what could be.  It’s up to the artist to decide what goes into that piece that actually gives it solidity.  It’s an old idea, and it’s being repackaged in a different way, which is admirable.  I would axe the last three lines and start fresh with four lines.

Perhaps
“What does an empty canvas… really feel”

Also, “It’s” is not a contraction; it is a possessive in this case. Should be “its”.
