The Ink Within the Pen
December 2, 2011
The pen tip rests gently on the page
What shall become of the ink within?
Will it tell a story of sorrow or pain?
Of joy, happiness and friendships gained?
Will it tell a story at all?
Painting pictures with words,
The pen moves swiftly
Giving poetic words
From the mind of the wielder
This is not sorrow or pain,
Joy or happiness
This is not a simple story
Of anything lost or gained
These are my words, not my story
Quite simply, this is my poetry
And it is mine alone.
What will become of the ink within the pen?

Wow! Really good :) I sometimes write poetry about inanimate objects, and I certainly love reading about them. This really spoke to me. Keep writing! :D
