The empty paper taunts the writer,
As the missing ball taunts the player.
The pure canvas smirks towards the artist
As she glares from her wooden stool.
It’s hard to get that drive.
That reason to move along.
The inspiration comes with the wind,
And in an instant, it is gone.
If you don’t pay close attention,
You’ll never be blown away.

A very nice little short poem which is about inspiration.
I can't see any mistakes. I really liked this writing, because made this a bit different from many others. Through reviewing, I have noticed when many people write about reviewing they only writing about writers block and so on. I like how you do this for many other creative arts, like sports and visual arts. I liked the idea of that.
My favourite verse. I liked them all really, so it was hard to choose, but I think I really love the end two. It's very true. How inspiration comes and goes on the wind, and you have to pay close attention otherwise you'll never be blown away. I don't believe in writers block. I just think of it as waiting... for the inspiration to come.

I actually really like this! I feel as if it's so true! I don't know if it is actually about writing and finding the inspiration to do it, but that's what it feels like to me.
Absolutly true! What is the point to write if you dont capture the inspiration when you can? Great Job! (I bet you wrote this when you yourself were waiting for that spark of inspiration?)
