i'm not sure i understand this one... a child's laughter and a painter running out of canvas... thought it's probably just me lol

still nice imagery i can see the painter running out of room and not knowing where to go next...

thank you for sharing!

    it's a poetic zen concept. I used the personification of 'laughter' and abstract, to something concrete "painting"... it's impossible to do it literary. In Zen philosophy, everything in nature is connected, like the stars in a bucket of water, dusk or dawn in the flowers, etc...

    Thank you very much, Shelley

My youngest granddaughters always enjoy painting and often do run out of canvas, and then the table gets painted. LOL The little girl laughing in precious and infectious. Thank you for giving me and extra reason to smile today.

That's cute! I love the sound of children's laughter. It's so pure and joyful and it lasts for such a brief time. When we get older the joy isn't so pure anymore. No wonder that painter ran out of canvas and probably of paint, too!

Perhaps the child's laughter was so unending or hard to conceptulize that the painter after many tries, felt that his renditions were inadequate. Sometimes, the simples and most natural things are the most difficult to explain.

A child's laughter is one of the most beautiful and infectious sounds I know. How to depict that joy would certainly take excessive amounts of canvas. As ever, your verse is skilfully expressed in this succinct form, complemented with delightful visual which, in itself, is enough to make one smile with pleasure. Thanks for sharing, Gypsy. Debbie
