C is for Create

Here's one of the drabbles that actually came out as a poem, so while it's not technically a drabble, it's 100 words long.  I hope you enjoy it!


Create

I am potential.
I am unwritten,
unscribbled,
unmarked,
                        bare.
You look at me
with hungry eyes
and lofty aspiration,
eager to
                        begin.
Pencil, marker,
paintbrush in hand,
you ache to change
my blank
                        nature.
I am yours.
Your freedom.
Your expression.
Through me, you
                        live.
Create in me
and of me.
Splash of color,
of life and
                        love.
Be my creator.
Make me special,
a masterpiece.
Let me change
                        you.
I am the canvas,
the blank sheet.
I bring forth the
beauty locked
                        within.
Unleash the
power, the light,
the color, and the
songs of
                        wonder.
I am here.
Create.

  9. I'd never heard of drabbles before. I thought it would fall under flash fiction. Well anyway I really like the idea and this poem in particular was very nice.
