Blank Canvases

I am accumulating blank canvases lately

the way I used to accumulate blank paper

before there was a computer / word processor

most of these canvases I have made myself

from good quality wood and hardboard

One day soon I will start painting

large loose abstracts mostly

the way I intended to one day soon

start writing on all that blank paper

   large concise novels mostly

I have a good supply of paint

a nice assortment of brushes

and palette knives and such

I had a good supply of words

  still do I suppose

I'm just not sure where I put them

  I laid them aside one day

and started making canvases
