Analysis of Template



The first line you are reading.
You wonder what is next.
The third line you are seeding. You load an empty text.

The blank you find exciting.
You connect a few dots.
The space you find inviting. You tie up all the slots.

The image you are dealing.
You view a sketchy scene.
The passion you are feeling. You know it sight unseen.

The secret you are sharing.
You show a buried place.
The riddle you are baring. You vent a hazy trace.

The content you are giving.
You lift a stealthy veil.
The substance you are living. You craft a private tale.

The poem is a fine stencil.
You fill in the template.
This rhyme is the utensil. You use to contemplate
