Until inspired, ignore all thoughts to start.
I think 'tis best to hide my quill and pen.
Superb rewrites convey divine felt heart!
Van Gogh evolved, again refined, more then.
He used unique rateen combined with paints,
alike, Hans Holst held burl with such aglow
therein, beheld rare gems concealed for saints.
Duchamp affixed atop cut slabs, you know ...
Where he discerned, within two doves enclosed.
Adepts, each one inspired, excelled in art!
In that, mistakes occurred all whilst hardnosed:
each one over time took errors to heart!
Resume my art, proceed with quill and ink,
oh, but engage my soul, go slow and think!

Author Notes
A Shakespearean, or English, sonnet consists of 14 lines, each line containing ten syllables and written in iambic pentameter, in which a pattern of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable is repeated five times. The rhyme scheme in a Shakespearean sonnet is a-b-a-b, c-d-c-d, e-f-e-f, g-g; the last two lines are a rhyming couplet.
Authors Notes: While admittedly, I struggle with meter, my desire for input exceeds my shame for such offerings.
